The album was recorded and released in 1999, and was produced by Roland Orzabal and Alan Griffiths of Tears for Fears, who also wrote two tracks for the album. It was recorded and mixed at Orzabal's own studio, Neptune's Kitchen, with additional recording done in Spain and Iceland. Orzabal also played and performed backing vocals on the album.

Other collaborators included Eg White, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Siggi Baldursson and Mark Abis.

The title of the album is a variation of the 1985 Gabriel García Márquez novel Love in the Time of Cholera. The song "Telepathy" was originally called "Love in the Time of Science" written by the Icelandic band Dip whom Torrini had previously worked with (Torrini sang on Dip's original version of the song, and Dip members Jóhann Jóhannsson and Sigtryggur Baldursson also appear on this album). The song would later be recorded under its original title by Marc Almond for his 2001 album Stranger Things, which was produced by Jóhannsson.
