Although not his first musical work, it was his first proper album, notorious for Van Tieghem's use of percussion objects such as radio transmissions, a wine bottle, hair comb, metal ashtrays and balloons.[2] It was commissioned for the dance "Fait Accompli", choreographed and directed by Twyla Tharp.

After its original release, the album remained out of print on any format for many years. However, the album became available in 2017 via online MP3 download on Bandcamp.[3]
