The inspiration for this album came when Rich traveled through the rainforests of the American Pacific Northwest.

Seeing the lush beauty of that environment contrasted by the devastation caused by clear-cut logging filled the artist with a sense of urgency.

In this album, Rich continues to explore deeper into a rhythmic and organic style which began with Numena (1987).

The most experimental track on the album is a piece titled "The Raining Room", dedicated to the Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky.

This was Robert Rich's first album released on Hearts of Space Records.
