Historical Facts

• The Criminal Element included Arthur Baker and Will Downing
• David Cole of C+C tinkled the keyboard ivories on 'Tighten Up'
• Voodoo Ray contains samples of comedians Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, taken from the Bo Duddley sketch from the first Derek and Clive LP. It combines a sample of Peter Cook delivering the phrase "voodoo rage", truncated due to the recording equipment's lack of memory, and also Dudley Moore forcefully delivering the word "later!".
• Byron Stingily contributed vocals on Open Our Eyes and was a member of Ten City
• Marshall Jefferson produced all of Ten City's early tracks
• Robert Howard was Dr Robert of The Blow Monkeys
• Les Adams is the man behind L.A. Mix
• Hardhouse is yet another pseudonym for Todd Terry
