Most of the pieces on this album are previously unreleased material found on Simon's tapes after his death in December 1997. Exceptions are 'Piano Music', which appeared on the 'Preludes Airs and Yodels' compilation, and 'Kora Kora' and 'Silver Star', which were on the 'Union Cafe' album.
'Lullaby' is a new piece completed by Simon but recorded after his death by friends and members of Penguin Cafe Orchestra at Hallfield House, Somerset, 17 Januari 1999.
The other fourteen pieces were played and recorded by Simon at various times and places (some unknown). 'Shelter' and 'Cajun Piano' are sketches of pieces Simon planned to record for his next album, which would have also incuded 'Lullaby'.
