℗ 2005 The copyright in this sound recording is owned by EMI Records Ltd. © 2005 EMI Records Ltd. Made in EU. Recorded at Air Lyndhurst, Parr Street, CRC, Sarm West, Townhouse and The Hit Factory. Mixed at Quad, N.Y. Mastered at Sterling Sound, N.Y. "Talk" contains elements of the composition "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk. Published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd. except X5 (Talk) published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd. / Kling Klang Musik GmbH, admin by Sony ATV Music Publishing (Germany) GmbH / Edition Positive Songs / Hanseatic Musikverlag GmbH / Warner Chappell Music. The final track ("Til Kingdom Come") is a hidden track, not listed in the back cover tracklist, and listed just as "+" in booklet and disc label tracklists. The image on the front cover is a colourful representation of a message encoded in the Baudot code, invented at the end of the 19th century for use in telegraphy and punched-tape teleprinters. It's supposed to read "X&Y" but due to an error it actually says "X9Y"! (The five columns can be read as binary numbers: 10111 is X, 11011 is shift, 00011 is 9 and 10101 is Y.)
