The album was recorded and mixed between June and August, 1993, at Platinum Studios with additional mixing at Metropolis and Sing Sing Studios. McComb selected 13 songs out of a pile of 35 and recorded them at Platinum Studios, Melbourne with producer Nick Mainsbridge, together with freelance musical directors Graham Lee and David McComb, and assistant engineers Kalju Tonuma and Phil Jones.

Videos were made for the singles from the album, "Setting You Free" and "Clear Out My Mind".

Reception

Reviewed in Rolling Stone Australia at the time of release, it was given a rating of three and a half from a possible five. McComb's first solo release is described as, "worth hanging around for." The review states the best moments, "are in its quieter gospel-inflected songs, such as the beautiful, textured, "Leaning"." Producer Nick Mainsbridge is said to have, "eschewed even the pretence of studio trickery." [1]
