The album is inspired by the 1902 silent science fiction film A Trip to the Moon (Le voyage dans la lune) by Georges Méliès and is intended to be a soundtrack to the restored version of the film. A free three-minute film excerpt featuring the song "Sonic Armada" was made available for one week in early December 2011 in conjunction with a pre-order offer. A limited edition of the album (70,000 copies worldwide) includes the CD and a DVD of the film.[16] The digital version of the album, along with the newly restored and colourised 16-minute film, was released as a strictly limited edition.[17]
All music is composed by Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, except where noted
