This 1981 collection gathers a clutch of singles and B-sides from Rundgren's experiments with automated recording and electronic music, showcasing a period of prolific, if somewhat commercially overlooked, output. Though not a traditional album, it captures a fascinating moment in his career where he embraced new technology and continued to push his own artistic boundaries.
- "Healing" was released in 1981, featuring tracks predominantly recorded and mixed by Rundgren himself using his custom-built "Money" studio.
- The album compiles material from singles released between 1977 and 1981, including the A-side of "Can't Stop Running" and the B-side "Power Ballad."
- Despite its experimental nature, the compilation includes the original version of "Time Heals," a song Rundgren would later revisit and achieve greater commercial success with.
