The songs are, for the most part, three to four years old, & were written in the formative years of Van der Graaf, some of them were originally played by the band in its early days & forms. This is, therefore, an album of songs rather than musical extravaganzae, & as such is dedicated to all the people who encouragised/energised them at the time they were written, who have shed new light on them since, & all those who helped in the making of the album, directly or indirectly.'
