Overview[]

The track list is slightly different for the US version. "Supernatural" and "Ride the Bullet" were presented in re-recorded versions, whick later appeared on the band's second album Massive Luxury Overdose.

The song "My Army Of Lovers" was also included Massive Luxury Overdose.

The track "Viva La Vogue" was used in the soundtrack of the comedy film Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.

The track "Birds of Prey" is a faithful rendition of the first section of the original "Birds of Prey", the first track on the United Artists 1976 album release "New Nation", by Roderick Falconer.

The album was first planned to be released only in Scandinavia, but in winter of 90/91 when the band performed in Super Channel-show, 40 million people in Japan watched them and the album was released there too. Still after 4 months the album was in the Top 50 in Japan.[1]

A remastered version of the album was released in 2006.
