It was primarily produced by Thorsten Brötzmann, with additional production from Peter Ries and Leslie Mandoki. The album peaked at number-one on the German, Austrian and Swiss albums chart and spawned four singles, including the European number-one single "Daylight in Your Eyes" and a remake of Eurythmics' 1985 single "There Must Be an Angel".
