Clint Mansell wrote it, words and music, and Flood took charge in the studio, producing and mixing, with Alan Moulder and Matthew Ollivier engineering.
The album around it had a stop-start life on the UK chart: two weeks and a peak of 33 the first time, then one more week at 58 when it was reissued in July 1991. Cherry Red gave it a second wind in 2011 with a two-disc edition that added material from the same period, some of it previously unreleased and some of it found only on singles.
