This is one of those albums with an interesting history. The band deciding to release an album with single one-hour track, a departure from their previous album Holy Mountain which contained a series of shorter individual songs.

Of course their new record label didnt know what to do with it. From Wikipedia

*Within a few weeks of signing with London, the A&R member who was negotiating with Sleep had been transferred and replaced. After sending the finished album to London Records, the label told Sleep that they were not going to release the album in its current format... ...Sleep refused to have the album released in any edited form which led to a deadlock between London and the band. The members of Sleep have mixed feelings whether the album should have been released in general. Cisneros felt it should not have been released, while Pike was content with its release, saying "We did all the work so why leave it sitting around?"
