The second album...

It opens with ALBINONI Vs STAR WARS..I always had this dream of using Adagio as a Clockwork Orange type song.. But Hague (the producer) was tooooo vague and it took soooo long to make.

It was originally inspired by a Goddard film called TARZAN Vs IBM... neither would let us use their brand name!

We'd saved Jayne Mansfield -- one of our favourite tracks from the early years -- for this record. We recorded it in the studio we built downstairs at my mews house. This track always defined the rock n roll of sputnik, the 12" mix is the definitive version with great voice samples and dub effects.
