Recording
Recording was done at Hansa Tonstudio, near the Berlin Wall. Producer Tony Cohen said the console at the studio was "slick and clinical" and much better than he was used to using. He said, "Alex Hacke had replaced Rowland Howard. I'd listen to his guitar parts and think, 'Fuck, that is so clever'." Cohen also noted Mick Harvey's influence on the recording, saying, "Mick had everything under control, and that's him at his best."[2]
