It is a development of many of the My Dying Bride's older musical themes and riffs, which were re-written for a variety of classical instruments, rather than the traditional metal music instruments; these riffs were combined with new vocals and musics written and arranged by Jonny Maudling (songwriter/keyboard player of Kull and Bal-Sagoth) based on the band's key works, thus creating a release characteristic of both a studio album and a remix album.

[2] The book and booklet both contained pictures from My Dying Bride's history, with a brief paragraph for every major release, as well as lyrics.

However, the booklet missed out certain lyrics, and the deluxe edition removed the paragraph for the album The Light at the End of the World.

"That Dress And Summer Skin" recycles the lyrics from "My Wine In Silence" from Songs of Darkness, Words of Light.

The opening lines of "The Music of Flesh" are borrowed from "The Crown Of Sympathy" from Turn Loose the Swans, while the ending of "Seven Times She Wept" quote "Sear Me MCMXCIII" from the same album.
