Основной релиз альбома состоялся в июне 1994 года, хотя дата постоянно переносилась. По мнению музыкантов, на этом альбоме техно встретилось с фолком. Фолка скорее даже в альбоме больше чем техно. Некоторые композиции (например, Former Lover или Marble Lions) исполнены с минимумом инструментов (гитара, несложная перкуссия). Есть и композиции, в которых фолк остается только в лирике (Western Wind, Like a Motorway, Boyscouts of America).
С альбома выпущено три сингла - Pale Movie, Like a Motorway, Hug My Soul. Существует три вариации альбома (отличаются обложкой и наличием/отсутствием трека Western Wind и включением 14-минутного Cool Kids Of Death), название музыканты выбрали, вдохновившись одноименным британским художественным фильмом 1959-го года.
