The album is effectively a longform EP for "Papua New Guinea", in the manner of their earlier singles. The first release in their psychedelic vein, it contains lots of live instrumentation, as well as electronic moments, and is mostly instrumental, other than vocal textures. The artwork is mostly photographs, taken by long-time friend and (uncredited) photographer Paula Flack and Gaz's friend Christine Lala.

"Papua New Guinea" appears on Accelerator and Teachings from the Electronic Brain: The Best of FSOL, "The Lovers" appears on The Isness and Teachings from the Electronic Brain: The Best of FSOL.
