Regarding his association with Buckethead, Hellborg stated that he "was always playing electric on everything he was doing. It was interesting to see what he could do with acoustic guitar. I like the record and what he did. It's sort of minimalist in a sense. It's definitely a clear musical statement and makes sense to me."^[6]

In the album liner notes, Hellborg asked: "Who is pure? Who is innocent? We need to protect innocence. Not only individuals' rights to be innocent but also innocence as a source of beauty, creativity and wisdom."^[5][7]
