The album is considered significant for the band in several regards. Shortly after the album's release Elton John claimed the album to be the greatest record he had heard in ten years. Subsequently, Pnau was signed onto Elton's management, which resulted in their heavily publicized apprenticeship under the music icon.
Additionally, Pnau reunited Nick Littlemore with Luke Steele for the first time in nearly a decade for the album tracks "With You Forever" and "Freedom". According to Littlemore, the track "With You Forever" inspired the artists to collaborate on a side project, which finalized a year later into the highly successful electronic pop band Empire of the Sun.
The album also features Ladyhawke (who at the time of this album's release was only previously known for her collaboration with Nick Littlemore as part of the art rock duo Teenager), Feadz, Nick Yannikas of Lost Valentinos, and Michael De Francesco of Van She.
