B-sides

Originally, the music written by Andy McCluskey for the 1991 BBC G. F. Newman TV series For the Greater Good was to be included as the B-side for "Then You Turn Away", but it became Sugar Tax. This song in turn was scheduled as the title track of the album, but was not finished at the time the album was released. The CD singles contain the extra tracks "Area", "Vox Humana", and a remix of "Then You Turn Away", called the Infinite Repeat mix. "Vox Humana" uses a sample of a female Gregorian chant written by Hildegard of Bingen.
