The album was recorded following years of Belew playing as lead guitarist for Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, and shortly after his 1981 debut as the lead singer, lyricist, and second guitarist of King Crimson. A video was produced for the track "Big Electric Cat", filmed in 1982 in New York City that opens with a shot of the World Trade Center. Belew's daughter Audie (four years old at the time) duets with her father on the last track, "The Final Rhino" (which was produced when Belew secretly recorded a piano piece improvised by Audie and then added a guitar line).[1]
