Towards the end of 1996, Jerry Richards, who had been contributing lead guitar to some live dates and recording sessions, joined the group permanently. Dissatisfied with the musical direction of the group, longstanding bassist Alan Davey chose to leave at the end of 1996. His bass playing duties were picked up by singer Ron Tree. Rastafarian toaster Captain Rizz and keyboardist Julian "Crum" Crimmins began contributing to live dates, although neither would appear on this record.
The album's release was preceded by the Love in Space EP, although the lead track differs remarkably from the album version, having vocals and being produced by Zeus B. Held.
The group undertook a 32 date UK tour from September through to November to promote the album, followed by three Netherlands/Belgium dates.[2] Some shows were recorded and issued as In Your Area and Hawkwind 1997, and some shows were professionally filmed by punkcast, but as yet unreleased.[3]
