Extra Note: While re-mastering this album we have removed the clicks and Pops (and there were many!) that occur on recordings and edits of this age. We have however left some edits untouched where we thought it might compromise the original feel of the music had they been removed. We have definitely not removed the sound of Chris Slade's squeaky drums pedals! After all they retain a special ambience all of their own!

Solar: Concerned with, determined by the sun
Fire: Active principle operative in combustion.
