Slope follows Jansen's critically celebrated endeavour Nine Horses, with brother and long-time collaborator David Sylvian and electronica artist Burnt Friedman. As Jansen explains, "With this album I approached composition attempting to avoid chord and song structures and the usual familiar building blocks. Instead I wanted to piece together unrelated sounds, music samples, rhythms and 'events' in an attempt to deviate from my own trappings as a musician."

Presented in a digipak beautifully designed by our own Chris Bigg with exquisite cover art by Dan McPharlin the album features a number of intriguing collaborations with artists such as Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Joan As Policewoman (Joan Wasser), Thomas Feiner and David Sylvian.
