Moz was a huge admirier of Bowie, so it was no surprise that he worked on this album with Tony Visconti. Recorded in Rome, the record include the singles You Have Killed Me and The Youngest Was The Most Loved. Visconti called it one of the "best albums I have worked on", and the finished article featured a string arrangement from il maestro Ennio Morricone.
