He recruited some of the musicians who had played on A Rock in the Weary Land as official band members for an upcoming UK tour.

[7] Dave Sleger of AllMusic considered the album to be "ambitious, moody, surreal, and relevant" and one which "incorporates all of the elements and possibilities of modern rock into a uniform, technically updated body of work".

"Lucky Day/Bad Advice" features a co-writing credit with Bill Grant, whom Scott befriended while living at Findhorn.

The standard Japanese release of the album contains the songs "Time, Space and the Bride's Bed", "Trouble Down Yonder" and "Send Him Down to Waco", but not "My Lord What a Morning".

BMG also issued and almost immediately recalled two singles each (separately packaged) for "My Love is My Rock in the Weary Land" and "We Are Jonah".
