The Room where Aural used to rehearse at Karla's house often worked as a sort of collective refugee during early 1997.

Most themes from their first production were composed and arranged there. The band's name comes as their compositions moved along, as well as the four members assimilated their musical influences that ranged from Rock, Pop, Jazz and minimalism to contemporary avant-garde groups from the British label 4AD.
