the album unified various soundscapes. The album begins with the song ''Prelude'', a synthesizer tune that is marked by Klaus Schulze's play. This is followed by ''Seen You Before'', a jazz-funk-fusion piece of music with a remarkable solo by Al Di Meola. The next piece, ''Madness'' is a funk tune that crossfades at the end with the sound of waves onto the romantic song ''Mystery of Love.

''Wheels of Fortune'' is characterized by complex rhythms and almost pure jazz, while ''Beauty'' again strikes a romantic note. The album ends with a funk-pointed piece, ''You and Me'' and ''Ecliptic'', reminiscent of a synthesizer tune of whale songs.
