		Parsons and Woolfson began work almost immediately on their next Project, which was intended to be a similar literary-musical survey of the works of Isaac Asimov.
		Though Parsons has said that he was too busy worrying about the music to dictate a cohesive theme to the songwriters, it nevertheless seemed to convey a message of taking a chance and doing or saying things that one might not do or say otherwise.
		Parsons hastily got permission to do a remix of the album-opening title track featuring lines from the movie, and while The Time Machine benefitted from the cross-promotion, but flew under the radar of radio and retail when the US release was delayed until after the movie's initial burst of publicity.
