The City was produced entirely in a Rome hotel room, where Vangelis was staying to witness the filming of Roman Polanski's film Bitter Moon. It can be seen as a concept album in many respects, citing concepts from urban life and alluding to the big city atmosphere.

Vangelis plays all instruments, exclusively synthesizers and drum machines. Vocals are by various guest artists, with narrative by Roman Polanski and Emmanuelle Seigner.

Vangelis employs a wide range of styles, from jazz and rock to new age. Instrument patches are all synthesizer-based, but sound very convincing (trumpet on track 1, guitar on track 3, cello on track 8).
