The recording of the album took place on various locations around Sweden during the first half of 2010, and it was mixed by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark. The album was mastered by Eroc and released on May 23, 2011. According to Marcus Losbjer, the songs on the album are more musically complex than before. To help create the desired atmosphere, electronic elements and effects were also utilised. He also states he feels it is the natural evolution and continuation from Still. Sea of Tranquility reviewer Murat Batmaz defined the production of the album as "audiophile" and stated that the dynamic range is "incredible." Vocalist Stefan Zell has also noted that Communication Lost is the band's best production. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
