It was written and recorded in Lisbon, Portugal in 1997, (where Ithaka lived and worked between 1992 and 1998) and is based upon his own personal adventures in Western Europe. Lyrically the record covers many diverse topics such as Substance abuse, Big wave surfing, and Ghosts.
Although the album is the English language, it was nominated for four Blitz Premios (The Portuguese version of The Grammy Awards) and in 1997 received top honours in the respected Portuguese newspaper Jornal Público (Portugal) for "Best Song" Seabra Is Mad, "Best Video"(Seabra Is Mad), "Artist Of The Year" and "Album Of The Year".
Songs from this album later appeared on the hit 2007 Xbox 360 basketball game, "NBA 2K7" from the NBA 2K (series) and on the soundtrack for the American surfing movie "Second Thoughts", winner of the 2004 Surfer (magazine) Reader's Poll Award for "Best Video".
The album was produced by Joe Fossard and consists of seventeen tracks which feature many guests performers such as British guitarist and co-producer Ewan Butler and many others from Portugal and beyond.
