Background edit

Being a long-time collaborator of Canadian musician Bill Leeb in the bands Front Line Assembly and Delerium, Fulber had a worldwide hit with the single "Silence" in 1999 with the latter. According to their own figures, Nettwerk sold 1 million copies of the album Karma from which the single was taken. Backed by the success, Fulber decided to release solo material. "Once you have a big song, people listen to what you have to say," he said to Billboard and expressed satisfaction with the label's backing: "Nettwerk was very supportive and has been very patient with me."[5]

Production edit

Due to other production and remixing responsibilities it took Fulber three years to finish the album. About his approach to writing the album he said, "I like the concept of pop music. It's more challenging to write songs than to write ambient music."[5]

Release edit

The song "Center of the Sun" is featured in the 2003 American superhero film X2.[6]
