Masin is credited with piano, synthesizer, zither, toys and voice, and Monti with production, bass, bass pedals, synthesizer, piano and guitar. Alessandro Pizzin added keys and Gianni Visnadi recorded to DAT. Afterwards Masin turned to raising his family and his work for Poste Italiane.

Three of its pieces, Stella Maris, She Wears Shades and Snake Theory, were chosen again for Talk to the Sea in 2014. A 2016 compilation, The Wind Collector / As Witness Our Hands, drew on it again.
