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
