Allegedly, arranger/composer David Matthews based side one of this album on Frank Herbert's novel Dune, and the album was pulled from release due to a lawsuit by the author as CTI did not get permission to use Dune (even though the only references to Dune were the album and song titles). The LP would see reissue in Japan in the 1980s, along with CD reissues. It is now available worldwide via streaming.
Side two features David Bowie's "Space Oddity," the movie theme from the film Silent Running, and two John Williams themes from the first Star Wars film.
