The album has a dark nocturnal atmosphere. It is a mixture of synthesizer, nature recordings and a complex array of other sounds, some of which are mixed in the far background.

The track ?Shadow? features Jon Hassell on trumpet, though it is played in such a bizarre, muffled tone as to be unrecognizable as a trumpet.

The album ends with an eerie guitar harmonic texture titled ?Dunwich Beach, Autumn, 1960?. This track is named after the once prosperous sea-port of Dunwich, England which eroded into the sea over a period of three-hundred years. This track is also Eno?s first collaboration with Daniel Lanois.
