The track 'Blackbird' is named after one of Oldfield's motorbikes, a Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird. On Oldfield's following album, Music of the Spheres, he repeats this trick, with a track title 'Musica Universalis' which when translated is Universal Music. 'Quicksilver' is an alternative name for the metal mercury, which is also the name of his then-current record label. Oldfield repaid the favour by playing guitar on 'Morgentau', a track from the Tag und Nacht album for Deylen's band Schiller. Christopher von Deylen makes a guest appearance on 'Nightshade'. The tracks 'First Steps' and 'Ringscape' were arranged by Robyn Smith. 'Tears of an Angel' also featured Miriam singing alongside the Cantor software. The virtual voice 'Miriam' is based on the voice of Miriam Stockley, with whom Oldfield had previously worked.

Oldfield's attraction to vocal modification surfaced again, this time in the form of Vocaloid, a virtual vocal software package. Four tracks from Light + Shade were made available in the U-MYX format for fans to mix themselves. However, as of 2020 it has not been released. On his official website, Oldfield reported that besides the standard version of the album, a 5.1 surround mix of the album had been produced as well. Many of the tracks on the album are remixed and/or extended versions of the music from the Tres Lunas video game. The first nine tracks are dubbed 'Light' and feature brighter and quiet pieces the second half of the album is the 'Shade' portion and brings in a much darker feel. The album offers two genres of music for two different moods, a division which Oldfield created by making two CDs of music.
