Notes

Jewel case with 12-pages booklet

"Talk" contains elements of the composition "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk.
Published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd. except X5 (Talk) published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd. / Kling Klang Musik GmbH,
by Sony ATV Music Publishing () GmbH / Edition Positive Songs / Hanseatic Musikverlag GmbH / Warner Chappell Music.

The final track ("Til Kingdom Come") is a hidden track, not listed in the back cover tracklist, and listed just as "+" in booklet and disc label tracklists.

The image on the front cover is a colourful representation of a message encoded in the Baudot code, invented at the end of the 19th century for use in telegraphy and punched-tape teleprinters. It's supposed to read "X&Y" but due to an error it actually says "X9Y"! (The five columns can be read as binary numbers: 10111 is X, 11011 is shift, 00011 is 9 and 10101 is Y.)
