Expensive to produce die-cut jacket features reveals areas of the full color sleeve through the front and back cover.

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 in order to help 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.
