Album history
The band signed to "
Domino Records " following the release of several self financed singles. The song "The Return of Evil Bill" is a follow up to the song "Evil Bill" that appeared on the "Clinic" compilation album, and remains a fan favorite in live shows. The band, particularly lead singer Ade Blackburn, aresuperstitious and chose not to include a song on the 13th track, instead a 4 second silence is heard before the albums final song, "Goodnight Georgie". This is believed to be why albums since have been no more than 12 songs long.The short interlude track "DJ Shangri-La" is an excerpt of
Ludwig van Beethoven 's "Moonlight" Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor played on a highly overdriven organ, although here it is played in standard 4/4 time, while the original piano motif was in 3/4 time. The song "The Second Line" was used prominently in a Levi's Jeans television advertisement in late 2000, which then led to it being re-issued.The album cover was inspired by
Ornette Coleman 's 1961 album [http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000C24JW.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg"Ornette!"]Track listing
