It is dedicated to the airmen and women who lost their lives in the Battle of Britain.

The song The Road Much Further On was originally titled You Can't Draw Love.

The album as a whole was a return to progressive rock for the band.

It is the first album in which Sean Filkins recorded vocals, replacing Martin Read.

It is also the only album in which Laura Murch recorded vocals, and the only Big Big Train album not to feature any songs solely written by Greg Spawton.
