The album was partly created so he could be free from his contract with Sony Music and FDM. Therefore, it is not so commercially minded. The style is ambient, lounge, chill-out and jazz and the recordings are made from jam sessions along with Francis Rimbert. After 2000's Métamorphoses, Jarre somewhat returned to his usual formula with this album, with it consisting of six mostly long, instrumental tracks (like Oxygène), although this time there are short breaks between the tracks, and the track titles are different dates spread over a year (presumably the year 2000, given the album's title), instead of the tracks being indicated as "parts". Some synthesizer workstations, most notably the Roland XP-80, was heavily used. Some of the sounds in this album were used earlier on Interior Music released in 2001.

The CD does not come with an actual booklet. The album cover is just printed on cardboard, with the track listing and credits on the back side.

gollark: <@!222424031368970240> If you're trying to make a sandbox which can't be broken even if you know it's there and are deliberately trying to remove it here are some things to watch out for- `getfenv`- `os.queueEvent` (if you run code which does basically any IO outside of the sandbox/with access to non-sandbox functions)- `debug`- `load` (it has some weird environment quirks)- `io` (due to, again, environment weirdness, depending on how you load the new FS API it might still use the regular one)- potential meddling with global APIs like `string` and/or metatables, to confuse your sandboxing codeand to hide it you probably also want to worry about- `debug`- `string.dump`- `error` (you can generate stack tracebacks in a really convoluted way using it, which could allow detecting the sandbox)- `error` (in some very convoluted way you can generate stack tracebacks using this and thus realize
