Background
The release collects all of the band's singles as well as some 'deep cuts' from their studio albums. "Organ Yn Dy Geg" is originally from the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (in space) E.P.. "The Citizen's Band" was originally a hidden track found in the pregap of Guerrilla, it is presented as an individually advertised track for the first time, it had never been released with copies of Guerrilla released via digital markets and "Patience" is from the DVD version of Rings Around the World, and was only previously released on CD on the bonus disc for the U.S. release of Rings Around the World which contained the seven DVD bonus tracks in 2002.
The title of the album is named for "Zoom!", the opening track from the band's 2005 album Love Kraft which appears in a previously unreleased edit on this compilation where the sample of guitarist Huw Bunford jumping into a swimming pool at the start of the track is removed.
Packaging
The album's artwork was designed by longtime collaborator Pete Fowler and the sleeve notes were written by noted Welsh music journalist and author Simon Price.
