The liner notes explain that the word soma can be found in the ancient Vedic texts describing a drink made from plants to help commune with the gods (a botanical hallucinogen), and that the same word meant "body" in Ancient Greek.[3]
The music on the album is electronic and ambient music with psychedelic overtones.[1] The album ends with a gentle, serene piece for electric guitar titled "Touch".
The album reached number nine on the Billboard New Age chart for April 17, 1993.[4]
