Originally released in 1995 by EastWest Records, it was the first new album from The Human League in five years after the termination of their long-term contract with Virgin Records. Celebrating 25 years after its original release, the 2CD special edition of the original album features a collection of demos, singles and edits with 7 previously unreleased tracks. The album's sound is notable for the nearly exclusive use of analogue synthesizers, a marked change from the band's primarily digital sound in the mid-to-late 1980s.
