Notes

The Virgin press release descibes the track as looking "at the fleeting nature of things and of how man tries to find his place in the structure of the universe and the structure of his or her life."

Richard Chappell on the production, "The elephant-like sound is a vocal treated by the Jam Man. This is the only track that has a sample from a library -- a cello coming from a normal Akai library. What sounds like DJ scratching is in fact Tchad. He put a bunch of drum fills onto a tape machine, hit go on the tape machine and spun stuff in."

Peter's Comments

"The first track we're going to get a little bit of is called 'Wet One' or possibly 'Growing Up', as I keep changing titles. Its number 79 from our very long list of songs we've been working on for the last few years."

"It sort of builds the world up from dots. The first dot is on and off, what is and what is not. Two dots are the first things that a baby recognises as a face and 3 dots would be the means of triangulation and defining any point in 3 dimensional space. With 4 dots you can include time and have definition there and also have a base, a foundation, on which to build. So its bit like trying to find your place in the world and growing up in the meantime."
