Formed nearly a decade ago in July 1996, Dorsal Fin became one of 3 working acronyms that musician Jon Johnson has worked under. At the time Johnson was producing primarily Electronic New Age music and had found a calling and interest in the then nearly new budding Techno Genres. It was one of his most successful efforts to break into the sub-main stream industry of that time. He was able to get Caroline Record's sublabel, Cleopatra to pass along this album to it's own subdivision label Hypnotics in Denmark. According to Johnson that was the main goal for the project. He had been so fascinated by all the cool new music on the Hypnotic's compilations CD's that he hoped to get an honor being on one.
