 The album includes effects which sound like whales, ships horns, porpoises, seagulls and even chimes.The album showcase melodic orchestration, and by sound is more similar to the New-age music rather than his experimental albums.John Diliberto of "Billboard" noted that it's different from the typical Vangelis electronic orchestral albums, and that he "gets his sea legs on the odd" with the sampled choral "Sirens", hypnotic "Islands Of The Orient", and ambient grooves of "Spanish Harbour".
