Songs

It is almost entirely instrumental, save for two songs; "Lie for a Lie", featuring Pink Floyd singer and guitarist David Gilmour with singer Maggie Reilly, and "Israel", sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

There was a time when we were considering it as an entirely instrumental album, but we had 'Lie for a Lie', which we wanted to go on, so we felt it needed another song to balance it out.

— Rick Fenn, [2]

I've certainly enjoyed working with Rick... I think it's useful and important to change the people you work with. You get so stuck in certain patterns. You know: Roger will do this and Dave will do that and... well, you can go and make the tea, Nick!

— Nick Mason, [2]

Personnel
gollark: I think they would argue that seed AI isn't that far-future and very important to get right. But it's very hard to tell if it *actually* is.
gollark: You could probably make an excuse along the lines of "if it's not accurate enough, it is liable to go horribly wrong and explode *your* ship".
gollark: I think you can *technically* emulate those on classical computers, but very slowly.
gollark: Also pain toggles and metadata and not just "something hurts now, good luck working out why and also you can't stop it".
gollark: You would probably need more than just brain-level tweaks for that, to provide the data in the first place.
