Volume I vsebuje elektrificirano verzijo Vaija in orkestra ter preobleko nekaterih že znanih skladb kot so “For the Love of God,” “Liberty,” “The Murder” in “Attitude Song.” Volume II pa tako presenetljivo vsebuje Vaijeve kompozicije, ki jih izvaja samo omenjeni orkester z izjemo “Shadows and Sparks” in “Bledsoe Bluvd.”
Vai z lastnimi besedami novi album opiše nekako takole: “I wanted to be a composer ever since I was a young boy. Though the guitar fell into my lap and my fingers were glued to the instrument, I studied composition and musical notation long before I even started playing the guitar. Through high school, college and beyond, I kept up my studies but the prospect of getting your music performed by an orchestra when you’re only considered to be an over-the-top electric rock guitar shredder seemed virtually impossible. To be able to hear your music performed is the greatest gift a composer could hope for. This was a dream project for me.”
