The new songs are heavily influenced by Fujikura, who conducted, arranged and composed the prevalent strings sections.

"I Should Not Dare" and "A Certain Slant of Light" are poems by Emily Dickinson, set to music and sung by Sylvian.

[2] The second CD is a 18-minute long stereo mix extract from the 2008–09 Biennial of Canaries, for which Sylvian, with Fujikura, wrote a piece of music as a sound installation.

The instrumental piece was over 50 minutes long and was recorded on Gran Canaria of the Canary Islands.

[5] "A Certain Slant of Light" is a remix of the Sylvian's 2010 release for the Mick Karn Appeal, which is referenced in this version with the bracketed "For M.K".
