Personnel
Samples
Several tracks have either sampled or taken inspiration from tracks on the album, most notably "Los Conquistadores Chocolatés". A track titled "When You Gonna Learn" by UK group Jamiroquai, led by founding member Jay Kay, has chord progressions that bear a striking resemblance to the original chord progressions of a Smith's track "Los Conquistadores Chocolatés". However, this was not by accident, as the booklet of the Acid Jazz Records release of the single bears a "special thanks" note to Smith, who gave permission to Jay Kay to use the composition's structure.
