拿著mü-nest給于的通行證，來到這個如花似錦的遊園地。這邊的旋轉木馬轉出的是電子碎拍與溫暖琴音的兒時回憶，臉上不自覺泛起滿足的微笑；那邊的摩天輪隨著輕省的爵士節奏與機動齒輪相互配合，彷彿談論經歷起跌循環的人生。不遠處是那個節拍排山倒海、令人難以喘息的過山車，教你體會生活的高低不平，每每有令人驚喜的情節；在那個荷花池，聽見靜謐如天籟的禪音流轉，每一下朦朧的敲擊都是喚醒沉睡靈魂的呼召。在這個顏色瑰麗的地方，發現柔婉的電音出現在任何一個角落，引領至出口之時，現在、過去、未來都緊緊的凝結在一刹。一刹就是永恒，不是嗎？
 
 相對處於領軍地位的歐洲及日本，其實中國及東南亞的電音發展也相當圓熟。來自馬來西亞的mü-nest廠牌創業作網羅了來自日本、歐洲、中國、台灣以及一眾東南亞的電音作品，當中有早已成名的如Piana、Lullatone、kazumasa hashimoto以及剛獲2006年台灣金馬獎最佳電影配樂的林強，還包括一眾新晉而具有質素的新名字，而且大部份都是未經正式發行的珍貴作品。這张雙CD合輯交織出最尖端的電音示範網絡，亦是一次柔性的示威告白：大中華也能出產令人驚喜的電音作品！

「We are all cotton-hearted」是這张合輯的名字。是的，聽著那些零碎節拍不斷衝擊、勾勒出感情的邊緣及模樣，時間及空間都變得不重要，你會發現你整個身心都會像綿花一樣，在輕柔的處境中享受那來自心底深處的呼召。
