Despite what the title suggests, this is not a compilation album but instead one of re-makes of solo songs as well as covers of Yes. These are all instrumental versions and were only done with keyboards, guitar, bass and drums.

Most of the remakes of his solo work (11 out of 15) are from Journey to the Centre of the Earth.[3]
