Overview

The album shows a wider variety of moods and sounds than did the group's first album,

Armenian song "Toun en kelkhen imastoun yes" is used in "Armenia". Bass guitar is relatively prominent, though generally played in a minimal style (and perhaps contributing more toward sonic texture rather than forming a rhythmic or harmonic foundation). Trouser Press critic David Sheridan pointed out the group's drift toward conventionality, writing that "the title track even has a chord progression!"[3]

"Armenia" was later

Michael Mann's 1995 film Heat and his 1999 film The Insider
.
