• "Together in Electric Dreams", which was the title track for the movie Electric Dreams and a major hit single
• "Good-Bye Bad Times", which was a minor hit

The album consists mainly of sequenced beats, along with dinstinctly bell-like sounds which were undoubtably done on a DX7, and a number of sounds generated by analog synthesizers. Interestingly enough, this album uses very little sampling. Notable, also, is that the first three songs on this album are seamlessly mixed together.
