It's just over-egged product. Part of the long, wheezing death rattle of disco that carried on for another year or so.

I find the fact they've used fractals - a quintessential motif of the '90s rave scene - to decorate the cover more jarring.
Perhaps they were trying to tempt younger CD buyers?

Apart from the strings bit, that is disco.
And Todd in the Shadows is often wrong.
