The album was dedicated to the memory of Duane Allman, who Captain Beyond drummer Bobby Caldwell had played with in an informal capacity.

The first starts with "Dancing Madly Backwards (on a Sea of Air)" and ends with "Myopic Void".

Songs flow directly into each other without any lag time between selections, a feature that is shared with other more progressive bands of the era such as The Moody Blues and Jethro Tull.

[citation needed] All of the songwriting was credited to lead vocalist Rod Evans and drummer Bobby Caldwell.

Due to their still binding contracts with Iron Butterfly, guitarist Larry Reinhardt and bassist Lee Dorman could not be listed as songwriters on this record for legal reasons.
