The original idea was born when Woolfson presented Parsons with a new concept album about the life and work of Sigmund Freud and thus they would begin to coincide and even both began to compose both the lyrics and the music.
However, in the middle of the composition and recording work, the figure of Brian Brolly appears, a music promoter who convinces Woolfson that her idea was ideal to take it to a theatrical show, this fact is not to the liking of Alan Parsons who leaves the project when she had already composed most of the songs for the album.
Despite everything, the songs would be recorded with musicians who used to be the regulars of The Alan Parsons Project; Ian Bairnson, Stuart Elliott, Laurie Cottle or Parsons and Woolfson themselves.
In addition to the voices of Leo Sayer, Eric Stewart, Chris Rainbow or John Miles, (these last three also collaborators of APP) among others.
The album itself is heir to the characteristic sound of The Alan Parsons Project, such as the epic "The Nirvana Principle", the melodic and impressive "Freudiana", the rock´s "I Am a Mirror" and "You're On Your Own", the electronic pop "Let Yourself Go", the complex "No One Can Love You Better Than Me", the Beatle "Little Hans" or the old "Upper Me".
This would be the last album recorded but not officially signed by The Alan Parsons Project who would say goodbye with a work that was not even signed by its authors, but which curiously is one of their best works of the project and which although not officially is attributable to the Parsons-Woolfson duo.
