Early Eloy albums had relatively poor sound quality, leading Frank Bornemann to re-record some of their most popular songs using modern recording technologies. He invited some of the former members of the band to play on the album.[2]

Chronicles I contains songs from Ocean (1977), Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes (1979), Colours (1980), Planets (1981) and Time to Turn (1982) re-recorded and mixed in 1993. The album also contains one previously unreleased track from the album Destination (1992).
