The album remains the group's most commercially successful to date, reaching no.4 in the UK album charts. The first track to be released from the album was Let Me Go, which failed to make the UK Top 40, although subsequent releases were more successful: Temptation (no.2), Come Live With Me (no.5) and Crushed By The Wheels of Industry (no.17).

All songs were written by band members, Gregory, Marsh & Ware and the album was prodiced by B.E.F. and Greg Walsh.

Although Heaven 17 did not tour the album live at the time of its release, it was finally played in its entirety at the Roundhouse in London on 14 October 2011.

A remastered edition of the album with added bonus tracks was issued in 2006 and a special deluxe version comprising 2 CDs and a DVD of promo videos was released in 2012. (for tracklistings see external links).
