History

The album was rereleased in 1991 featuring three bonus tracks.[1] In 2011 American hip hop artists Kanye West and Jay Z sampled the opening guitar riff from "K-Scope" for their song "No Church in the Wild" in their first collaborative album Watch the Throne (2011). In 2015 Manzanera covered their track for his album The Sound of Blue.[2]
