Lushly produced die-cut jacket features reveals areas of the full color sleeve.

The music is not exactly as "out of this world" as the cover graphics might suggest. Marino created more of a mood set that features "spacey-sounding" lead ins and lead outs. The engineer (Ted Keep) along with Marino did an excellent job of blending the audio effects and the song order helps to create a mellow and dreamy soundscape.

From the sleeve: Musically, conductor Marino calls upon a full span of woodwinds from the piccolo to the contrabassoon. Violas and cellos, two harps, percussion instruments and a rhythm section complete with the orchestra. And the voices of three sopranos were blended in for ethereal effects.
