[edit] Album info

The music and lyrics, by Butler and Howse, were not written in the traditional fashion: the lyrics were given to Bell to fit to the music track of his choosing. An exception was "Cycle Of Sixty", written by Howse.

The song "Giving Up the Ghost" was lyrically directed at Tony Iommi and his continuation of the Black Sabbath name at the time.

Samples from the British TV movie, 'The Woman In Black' can be heard on 'Seance Fiction'.

Although no commercial single was released a CD promotional EP was issued by TVT Records in the USA (catalogue TVT 6014-2P), with full colour inserts. The track-list of this was 1) Cycle Of Sixty (radio mix) 2) X13 (radio mix) 3) Drive Boy Shooting (live) 4) Detective 27 (live) 5) House Of Clouds (live). The live tracks were recorded at Majestic Theater, Detroit, MI in February 1996.
