While the sound of this album is similar to some of the soft, ethereal tracks by the Alan Parsons Project, none of the writing or performance credits in the sleeve notes (of the CD edition - the vinyl edition's credits are significantly different) go to Alan Parsons, except for one short and simple instrumental part on "Temporalia"; his relation to the album is almost exclusively as producer. The album lacks much of the rock edge of the previous albums up to and including "On Air".
