Background and recording

Though the album credits all songs as being written by Paul Schütze, Schütze has said that "None of it was written - it was all improvised."[2] The album was recorded through dubbing parts played by musicians who never met in person; bassist Bill Laswell played over Schütze's electronics in New York, then passed the results to drummer Dirk Wachtelaer in Brussels, who recorded his parts and then passed the music on to the next performer.[2]

Several of the album's musicians united for live performances, which are documented on Shiva Recoil: Live/Unlive (1997).
