Their first album for Creation Records, it is composed of short instrumentals in different styles and is less than nineteen minutes in length. The original album cover featured a photo of the band which was replaced on reissues by a cropped version.[3]

For the 2018 reissue of the album, Lawrence returned the record to its original planned title, renaming it The Seventeenth Century.[4] The CD reissue also featured a different cover, replacing previously used photographs with typography.
