The album moved away from the overtly political lyrical content of the previous album. BackgroundAt the time of the release of Dewdrops in the Garden, Lady Kier had compared it with Infinity Within by saying: {{cquote|During the Gulf War and Bush years we felt it was important to use the platform we had in the media responsibly. Our new album is more about personal politics rather than global. We're going back to our original concept. People have enough problems, they don't need to hear it in music. Just making uplifting music is a political statement in itself. We want to strengthen their spirit on the dance floor so they can diffuse the dissatisfaction from daily global destruction.{{citequote|August 2009}}}}The album drew inspiration from Lady Kier's travels to the Hopi ruins in the Painted Desert and pyramids in the Yucatan and Dmitri's travels to the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree. The inspiration was clear in Lady Kier's description of the track "Music Selector is the Soul Reflector": {{cquote|It is about the love of the collective dancefloor consciousness. The DJ is like the guru, the booth is the altar, the dancefloor is the sacred ground we worship on.[6]}}Most of the work on Dewdrops in the Garden was done by Super DJ Dmitri and Lady Miss Kier joined by junglist DJ Ani (On-E). Towa Tei had left the band to do some work on Japanese pop star Nokko's album and his own debut solo album Future Listening! (however, Tei contributed to the track "Call Me"). He was said to be back for the band's fourth album, which was never made. A companion album titled Dewdrops in the Remix was released in Japan shortly after the album's release, containing four remixes of "Picnic in the Summertime," four mixes of "Bring Me Your Love," and six mixes of "Call Me." "Bring Me Your Love" and "Call Me" became their last two #1 hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Track listingAll tracks by Deee-Lite
