This album contains songs from their first four studio albums (including Roine Stolt's solo album The Flower King) and focuses on long tracks, almost all of them with more than ten minutes. It was released when the band was visiting the United States for the first time.

The album was released in Japan through Avalon Records with a cover version of the Genesis song "The Cinema Show", the band's original contribution to the Genesis tribute album The Fox Lies Down, in place of the song "Compassion".
