With the exception of the opening track, the album is composed of covers done by Rollo in an ambient and minimalist style. The only instruments used in the songs are violins, pianos, drums, bell-like instruments, guitars, and some synths. The songs were mixed by Rollo, Mark Bates, and Grippa. The slow style of Rollo's covers raised the ire of some Enigma fans.

Before the disc's track list was confirmed, there were plenty of alterations, with some songs being switched for another. In the end although "Endless Quest" was listed in the track list, the song was actually "Principles of Lust".
