The album saw the emergence of one of Scruff's obsessions – sea-life. The opening track, "Sea Mammal", was the first of several to use cut-up recordings of voice-overs from children's stories and nature documentaries to create surreal and silly stories.[2] The track is a tribute to Boogie Down Productions' track "My Philosophy", and was originally released as the B-side to Scruff's debut release, the single "Hocus Pocus" (1995).[3] The album also contains another track that references sea creatures – the album's closer, "Wail" (being a homophone for "whale").[2]

The album is currently out of print, but in 2005 it was remastered and re-released via Ninja Tune under the name Mrs. Cruff, containing three additional tracks.
