The record had Rita Redshoes and Ricardo Coelho (Loto) as special guests.

In 2005 they invite some Portuguese artists to remix the songs of the debut album. Frames > Remixes & Versions has remixes by Nuno Gonçalves (The Gift), Loto, Rui Maia (X-Wife / Mirror People), Kubik and many more. The record has also four acoustic songs, recorded for the radio show 3 Pistas from Antena 3 – Radio Station. Between those songs you can find a version of The Velvet Underground's song Sunday Morning.

The Japanese version of the album is released in June and has three acoustic bonus tracks. One of them is Paris, by the British band Friendly Fires.

In 2012 Layers of Love United has its edition in Vinyl. Limited edition, numbered and in white vinyl, which also has the Paris version as a bonus track.[11]
