  • 2006 CD bonus tracks marked with an asterisk

  • "Sat'day Night In The City Of The Dead" features Foxx playing harmonica and rapidly delivered vocals, with lyrics that paint a picture of city nightlife on speed.
  • The epic "I Want To Be A Machine" has a title which comes from a famous Andy Warhol quote.
  • "Wide Boys" makes use of a telephonic distorted voice, not unlike John Lennon in the track "Tomorrow Never Knows", found on The Beatles' Revolver.
  • "Lonely Hunter" is about a fox, roaming around various landscapes. This is a favorite Foxx theme throughout his career.
  • The lyrics to "My Sex" include many striking images, such as suburban photographs, silent films and even a car crash overpass. It got radio play in spite of its subject matter and caught the attention of many ears. The single moved some units and features Eno's minimoog, as does the unique sounding Currie/Foxx composition "Slipaway".
