This one involved a variety of surrealist and sci-fi concepts, dream imagery and pure experimentation. Most of the spoken vocals here are Steve, with dada gibberish by Alan. "Tomorrow" itself was a choice section of several hours of recordings of a microphone in the guttering outside the flat, recording the passing traffic, people, etc., all with copious layers upon layers of echo. "One More Blade of Grass" was a homage to the post biological apocalypse survivors film. The cover picture was inspired by the dream images of another sci-fi film. Versions...
