The album includes a CD and a DVD; the DVD-Video features Dolby Digital and DTS audio, whereas the CD is in stereo, mixed to give a more spacious impression than usual. Jarre chose the DVD-Video format instead of the higher-quality DVD-Audio or SACD because he claimed that DVD-Video was the most widespread format, with the generalization of home cinema setups.[5]

The video accompanying the music on the DVD show the eyes of French actress Anne Parillaud, listening to the music for the full length of the album. Johan Carlsson of Release Magazine considered that "this is a good introduction to Jarre's music and while the new tracks aren't much to write home about, its something for the old fans as well."[1]
