Constructed as a dynamic image-world of constant motion, Karkador is a vivid portrayal of the use of media as electronic "hanabi" (fireworks) in Japan. Writes Callas, "The Japanese media machine is earnestly engaged in the feeding of a vast compressed river of imagery, in which content sinks without a trace like a stone to the bottom." The lyrics of the title song "refer to the experience of random deja-vu, interpreted by the imagery to be nothing other than the experience of watching television."
