"The Heart Asks Pleasure First" is Michael Nyman soloing at the piano. Motion Trio performs on all the other tracks, some accompanied by Nyman on piano and/or Barr on trombone and euphonium. All music was performed acoustically with no electronic enhancement.

The album is an outgrowth of a collaboration of the 7th Kinoteka Polish Film Festival with the support of the Polish Institute in London and financed by Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of Polska! Year.
