Notes

First pressing. CD case printed with 'diffraction grating' allowing 10 hidden messages to be revealed on the 5 folded, printed inserts:
Slipping Into Madness Is Good For The Sake Of Comparison
Men Don't Protect You Anymore
People Who Don't Work With Their Hands Are Parasites
What Urge Will Save Us Now That Sex Won't?
Murder Has Its Sexual Side
Deviants Are Sacrificed To Increase Group Solidarity
Let Your Hand Wander On Flesh To Make Possibility Multiply
Go Where People Sleep And See If They're Safe
You Are Trapped On The Earth So You Will Explode
Much Was Decided Before You Were Born

"YMO" is crossed out on the inserts and tray card.

    There's no way to do in Discogs, but this album is technically by NOT YMO. That's what they were trying to do with the X over their name. There was some issue with the rights to the name at the time.

            Recruited YMO album.
            It was made conscious of Techno after Second Summer of Love.
            They are reusing old equipment.
            William Burroughs, William Gibson etc participate and it is like cyber punk image.
            A sentence which can not be read unless Jewel case is ed,
            A pattern appears when the disc rotates,
            YMO-like gimmick.
