They take their times recording albums, generally allowing two years in between perfecting their songs with their goal being to make something organic, that breaths on it's own, which integrates into part of a separate, higher and bigger living organism. This album shows the band growing an enormous amount as songwriters, focusing on more developed songs and structures. throughout these five songs, Follakzoid craft one of the finest kraut-rock record in years.

Heavily informed by the heritage of the ancient music of the Andes, the band has learned to integrate this influence with contemporary sounds of their times, creating a rich yet minimal atmosphere. For 'III', the band wanted to expand their sound while building an atmosphere with mainly monochords and reiteration. After recording and mixing the album on their own at their studio at BYM Records, they partnered with German electronic maestro Atom TM to flesh out the album's synth parts. Most of the sounds he provided were atonal electronic sounds, aiming for concrete frequencies and sampled organic glitches. (The Korg synthesizer Atom TM plays on this record was used by Kraftwerk on a tour during the '80s and given to him by Florian Schneider.) 'III' is a four-part minimal sound voyage in which you can hear Follakzoid's musical language developing into something more upbeat, obscure, and sharp, yet even simpler in terms of elements.
