It was released in different editions, including the limited "Ultra Deluxe Edition". It's the first studio album of Schiller with a title in English language. The cover art work includes pictures by photographer Philip Glaser. On May 26, 2016 (2016-05-26) the Standard Edition was released on Spotify.
The album is something of a departure from Schiller's previous body of work, with a somewhat harsher and colder sound and style, and with more focus on synth pop than ambient soundscapes. It also features a number of vocalists that Schiller had not previously worked with, whilst regular vocalists from recent years do not appear at all.
The music video of The Future I + II had its world premiere on December 26, 2015 (2015-12-26) on YouTube.[3] The first single Paradise featuring Arlissa was released in February 2016 and the music video had its premiere on February 17, 2016 (2016-02-17).
After the release of Opus in 2013, Schiller announced that there will be no release of a new studio album until 2016. For the production of the album von Deylen left Berlin and moved to California and spent some time in the Mojave Desert.[4]
Von Deylen describes his album as a movie soundtrack, which has to be listened as whole.[4]
