It compiles songs from every Eloy studio album released between 1975 and 1998, except Performance (1983) and Destination (1992). It also includes a previously unreleased live version of the song "Poseidon's Creation", recorded in Munich in 1994.
The songs were selected by Eloy leader Frank Bornemann, who was approached by EMI Electrola with the vision to create an "organic unity through musical transitions between the songs", a task Bornemann found "extremely difficult to realize".[5] Sorting the songs in order to match EMI's vision was done by the band's longtime graphics designer and friend Michael Narten, and master engineer Hans-Jörg Maucksch.[5]
Narten also designed the album's booklet, combining elements from the covers of every studio album represented. Bornemann appreciated his work with "unreserved applause".[5]
Various past members of the band were invited to comment on songs they co-wrote and/or played on, with their comments included in the album's booklet.[5]
