The first Gamma Ray album to feature the enduring Hansen-Richter-Schlächter-Zimmermann line-up.

Men, Martians and Machines opens with the famous five-note theme from the 1977 science-fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Lost in the Future incorporates the melody from the American folk song Oh! Susanna.

Watcher in the Sky was originally written and recorded for Iron Savior's debut album, also released in 1997. Piet Sielck and Thomen Stauch also feature on the Gamma Ray version, but it is a new recording.

Track 1 by Hansen, Schlachter & Zimmermann.
Tracks 2, 3, 4, and 7 by Hansen.
Tracks 6, 8, 11, and 14 by Hansen & Schlachter.
Tracks 5 and 9 by Richter.
Track 10 by Zimmermann.
Track 13 by Hansen & Richter.

Recording information:

Recorded and mixed from March to June, 1997 at Hansen Studio in Hamburg, Germany.
