The World Is a Game Recording on the album continued while David was on tour with Yes; David and St-Père would discuss the album over the phone and David would receive MP3s as work progressed so he could make suggestions. With the exception of two pieces which originated years prior, "A Morning Rise" and "Dear Someone", all of the music on the album was brand new material written shortly after the release of "One Among the Living". The cover art for the album was done by Polish photographer Leszek Bujnowski, and is entitled "Rainy Circus". The World Is a Game The World is a Game
