Background

[edit]

Wilson commented in an interview, "Well, it wasn’t my idea. The record company [Decca] brought the idea to us and it seemed interesting. So we tried it out. It is weird without vocals. [...] The label had a list of their choices, then I had mine and me and Darian [Sahanaja] just sort of picked what was best."[6]
