Notes

In October 1991 Chris Franke performed a concert as part of the UK electronica festival. Finally, in January 1993, the recording was made available as a full length album. In the booklet, the venue of the concert is named "October 1991, The Royal Apollo Theatre", but in fact the concert took place at the Astoria Theatre in London.

 


The European version of the CD does not contain the bonus track Private Diaries featured on the US version. The booklet of the Japanese version, released later that year, lists only seven tracks, but the CD contains all eight tracks. The first 100 copies of the US version are handnumbered and autographed by Chris Franke.

 


In 1992, a video tape of the UK electronica 1991 concerts was made available on VHS cassette at a limited edition of 200 copies. The video also shows a 15 minute excerpt of Chris Franke's gig.
