The album was recorded in Toronto, Ontario at Thunder Sound studio between May and August 1974; except the songs "Salt, Sun and Time" and "Rouler Sa Bosse" which were mixed at Manta Sound with Leo DeCarlo. "Salt, Sun and Time" and "Rouler Sa Bosse" were re-recorded in instrumental versions on Cockburn's 2005 instrumental album Speechless.[1]

Allmusic [2]

Allmusic music critic James Chrispell, wrote retrospectively "There's a much more complex feel to what's here, especially the instrumental title track which shows a strong John Martyn influence. And while the songs are complex in texture and feel, they aren't hard to get into. In fact, this album grows on you the more you play it. Truly something that has endured."[2]
