Notes

"Talk" contains elements of the composition "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk.

Recorded at Air Lyndhurst, Parr Street, CRC, Sarm West, Townhouse and The Hit Factory. Mixed at Quad, N.Y. Mastered at Sterling Sound, N.Y.

Track 13 is a hidden track.

The image on the front cover is a colourful representation of a message encoded in the Baudot code, invented at the end of the 19th century for use in telegraphy and punched-tape teleprinters. It's supposed to read "X&Y" but due to an error it actually says "X9Y"! (The five columns can be read as binary numbers: 10111 is X, 11011 is shift, 00011 is 9 and 10101 is Y.)
