The record's singles, "Three Minute Hero" and "Missing Words", made the top 25 of the UK Singles Chart. The album was also critically successful, and has had lasting praise in the ensuing years.

CD2 collects all the non-album singles, b-sides, John Peel session and some previously unreleased rarities.
