"Time Bomb" sits on Gorgeous, the fourth album from English electronic outfit 808 State, which came out on 1 February 1993 through ZTT in Britain and Tommy Boy in America. Andrew Barker, Graham Massey and Darren Partington wrote it, the group produced it themselves, and Alan Fisch and Michael Haas engineered.

It's the sound of a slimmed-down 808 State pressing on. Gorgeous was their first album without founding member Martin Price, who had walked in October 1991 to work on his own productions and eventually set up his own label, Sun Text. When ZTT reissued the album in 2008, it came with a whole extra disc of remixes.
