Musically, it is in a similar vein to the two preceding Amorphous Androgynous albums, The Isness and Alice In Ultraland, with influences of psychedelia and progressive rock. However, it bears more in common with the latter's funk and blues experiments and ambient interludes between tracks.[ citation needed ]

It is described in the notes as "A collection of psychedelic relics from The Amorphous Androgynous, 1967-2007". [2]
