Each track on ...I Care Because You Do is annotated with a date, revealing that the tracks were created between 1990 and 1994.
Rolling Stone stated that the music on ...I Care Because You Do had "little to do with techno in any of its more popular guises" and that James' music was more appropriately comparable to John Cage or Philip Glass than Moby or The Orb and that the album is where James's music became "denser and stranger". The magazine also noted that the music on the album drew "most strongly from hip-hop. James' trademark is to put rhythm and percussion above all else."Rolling Stone later stated in 2004 that the increasingly active drum backing on the album was inspired by the presence of drum and bass music in the United Kingdom.
...I Care Because You Do was released on 24 April 1995. It was released on vinyl, compact disc and cassette.
