Continuum is a collaborative ambient and drone music project between Bass Communion (Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree) and Dirk Serries (of Vidna Obmana and Fear Falls Burning). The project looks to expand on the artists' "collective ambition and vision, motivated by their immense passion for a wide-range of musical styles, ranging from spacious ambience to pounding doom metal."{{Cite web |url=http://www.porcupinetree.com/background.projects.cfm |title=Porcupine Tree: Other Projects |access-date=14 November 2009 |archive-date=19 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219194918/http://www.porcupinetree.com/background.projects.cfm |url-status=dead }}

The first volume in the collaboration between Bass Communion and Vidna Obmana was originally limited to 25 promotional copies. However, the promotional copies sold quickly, leading to the pressing of a 1,000 copy official release. The album is packaged in a book sized digipack designed by Lasse Hoile. The difference between promotional copies and the official release is a small black line through the bar code.[http://www.voyage-pt.de/swdisco.html The Complete SW Discography]
A second edition of 1,000 copies was released in July 2008.[http://www.swhq.co.uk/bass_communion.cfm Bass Communion Discography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309112921/http://www.swhq.co.uk/bass_communion.cfm |date=9 March 2012 }} at [http://www.swhq.co.uk Steven Wilson HQ] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080823093815/http://swhq.co.uk/ |date=23 August 2008 }}
