This is the first album following the death of the original drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg, who was fired from the band after ''Chameleon'' and later committed suicide.

He is a pioneer in the electronic, ambient and new-age genres, and is known for organising outdoor spectacles featuring his music, accompanied by vast laser displays, large projections and fireworks.
