This was the second NueroMud album released. There were many songs recorded for this album, including a few milestones for the Studio. This album was the first to have a "cover" song (a remake of a song recorded by someone else). The band Anything Box had a song called "Carmen" and that song was recorded and put on this album. The other first was the use of someone else's lyrics on a Metal XOR album. A friend of the Studio provided the lyrics for "Blind" and the reverse spoken word on "Lumina".

The above scan lists a couple of songs that were cut from the final album. It also lists the final three choices for the album title. The two titles that were not used were Scented Journey and This Too Shall Pass.

By now the Studio had been named Metal XOR. It was a studio built in the basement of the house Jason was renting at the time.

There is not much to say about this album. It, like the first NueroMud album ...Libra 971, had a limited release so not many people even know it exists.

There are plans to eventually re-release this album on CD, most likely containing extra tracks of demos or unreleased songs.
