It is the soundtrack to the film version of Paul Quarrington's novel Whale Music, and should not be confused with the band's 1992 album Whale Music.

The album includes "Claire", which in 1995 became the band's only Top 40 hit. That song is also included on the band's album Introducing Happiness.

Both "Claire" and "Song of Courtship" received Genie Award nominations for Best Original Song at the 15th Genie Awards,<ref>Craig MacInnis, "Rheostatics' music defines the Genies: Band has rare double chance at tonight's gig". Toronto Star, December 7, 1994.</ref> which "Claire" won.<ref>"Genie Award winners". Hamilton Spectator, December 8, 1994.</ref>
