is the seventh album released under the name Gong and the de facto debut album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong.

[3] The album features an all-instrumental jazz-driven sound,[1] notable for the prominent use of vibraphone, and has little to do with the psychedelic space rock of Daevid Allen's Gong, even though the two bands share a common history.

Although the album was issued by Virgin Records under the "Gong" name for contractual reasons, and the name "Pierre Moerlen's Gong" would not be adopted for a couple of years, the lineup involved and the nature of the music are that of the Moerlen-led band.

Writing credits are split between Moerlen and guitarist Allan Holdsworth, except for the final track, which is by early Magma and Flying Teapot bassist Francis Moze.

[4] "Shadows Of" is a reworking of Allan Holdsworth's "Velvet Darkness" from his 1976 album of the same name.
