Recording and release
The album was recorded in Studio O in Belgrade, and produced by John McCoy, who produced the band's albums Mrtva priroda (1981), Buvlja pijaca (1982) and Istina (1985), and with whom the band cooperated again after 27 years. It was mastered in Abbey Road Studios by Peter Mew.
The album cover was designed by Jugoslav and Jakša Vlahović, and refers to the cover of the band's album Mrtva priroda.[6] In an interview for Večernje novosti, the band's frontman Bora Đorđević stated that the "cyber version of the chicken from Mrtva priroda" symbolizes "fight against new technologies" which "devalue every art form".[7]
The album was released on both compact disc and vinyl, being the band's first album released on vinyl after twenty years.
