The album's tracks were originally composed for Labra show made for Culture Year 2000 with Stefan Lindfors. Lindfors handled the visual design while Alanko handled the musical side with Säätiö. Alanko told that he wanted to make music that was Finnish, but that sounded universal so that language wouldn't be a barrier while listening to it. He also wanted a choir for the project (this can be clearly heard on the album's opening track "Kirskainen Hyvätyinen").

According to Alanko the Labra was a long, heavy and demanding project that you normally shouldn't even think of doing. He was impressed that it was finished on time.

The thirteenth track "Minuutin hiljaisuus" consists of one minute of silence.
