Contents

The album mixes early Eighties electronic music, of the kind released by Ze records artist Cristina, with house music.

It was listed by noted music journalist Paul Morley in his book Words and Music, as one of his 100 albums to hear if you think Radiohead's Kid A is weird.

The album's first single, "Silver Screen Shower Scene" contains a sample of the Ben Liebrand remax of The Flirts single "Passion", and "Harlot" contains an unaccredited sample of the drum pattern from The Human League track, "The Sound of the Crowd"."Glitz Rock" contains a Kano sample.

"Silver Screen Shower Scene" was also featured in the Soundtrack to Midnight Club II for the Xbox, PC, and PlayStation 2. The same song is even featured in SSX 3 for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube.

"Magic Fly" is a cover version of the 1977 hit by Space.
