Dax wrote and produced all the songs on the album as well as playing the guitar, drums, bass, flute, keyboards, banjo, tenor & soprano saxophones, trumpet, tapes, drone guitar, TR-808, toys and voices. The original "Meat Harvest" artwork for Pop Eyes was also created and compiled by Dax during January 1981 and proved to be too shocking for some in the music industry. It was later replaced with artwork created by Holly Warburton. Warburton's artwork can be found on most of Dax's early work.
