The tracks on Ele average over twenty minutes in length. Two of the tracks, "Kohde" and the title track, were reworked in shorter versions on Delay's second album Entain.

Reception edit

Allmusic gave it three stars, comparing his music to that of Steve Reich, Oval, Thomas Brinkmann, and Pole and calling it Delay's "defining point-of-departure in defining a new hybrid dub, minimalism, IDM, post-techno music."
