It is a concept album, highly experimental in nature, marking a considerable divergence from Toyah's previous works.

It was inspired particularly by the scrutiny her recent marriage to Robert Fripp was under in the press, which made her feel that she "had gone from all-powerful artist to invisible woman".

[4] It is presented as a continuous piece of music, although a time-code programme has been provided to enable the listener to access a particular title.

[10] In May 2003, the album was reissued on Toyah's own record label, Vertical Species, together with its follow-up, Ophelia's Shadow.

[12] In 2020, it was re-released with the original cover as part of the Toyah Solo box set,[13] and subsequently also on yellow vinyl.
