Album information

Production on Dangerous And Moving spanned out from Los Angeles, to London, and Moscow. There were two notable recording sessions with the record's producer, Sergio Galoyan. The first was 4–20 August 2004 a recording session in Moscow with just Lena that produced songs like "Cosmos", "Sacrifice" (one demo ft. Claire Guy) and demos "All My Love", "I Know", "One Love" and "You". The second recording session was from 17 January – 18 April 2005 in Los Angeles with "Sacrifice", "Perfect Enemy" and the demo of "We Shout" titled "Reach Out" sung by Katina.

Other demo versions of the songs are available online, such as: "All About Us (performed by the Veronicas)", "Sacrifice (with both Yulia and Lena)", "Perfect Enemy (which is very different and recorded by Claire Guy, this is the original pre production demo version along with Cosmos and Sacrifice as a collaboration between Sergio and Claire )" and "Obezyanka Nol".

Although Sting, Dave Stewart, Richard Carpenter, The Veronicas and Claire Guy did work on the album, they did not actually meet the girls for production. Sergio Galoyan became a liaison for the production. However, Richard Carpenter did meet the girls after the recording of the album at their video shoot for the single Friend or Foe. The video was shot on location at Bronson Cave in Hollywood, directed by James Cox, while the executive producer was Grant Cihlar for 1171 Production Group. According to the booklet, the album was recorded at 8 different recording studios. The album cover photography and design was made by their own music group TA Music.

There are only 2 shared tracks and 5 tracks which have a Russian/English counterpart.

"Loves Me Not"
"Обезьянка Ноль" (Obezyanka Nol) / later reworked into 'Null And Void' on the album 'The Best')
