It is the first album to feature Susie Bogdanowicz (then named Susie Warren), who is featured as guest backing vocalist in the album and would later join the band as lead singer for subsequent releases. Session member Brad Marler provided all lead vocals for the album.

It is a tongue-in-cheek concept album concerning a young man called Tom, who becomes convinced that aliens are trying to communicate with him through his albums. It is a celebration of the excesses of seventies progressive rock, and uses many of the traditional keyboard sounds of the era in order to strengthen this connection. The band's 2018 seventeenth studio album, Chronomonaut, is a follow-up to Chronometree.
