- Channel Hop: Stateside, this was Gabriel's first release on Geffen Records, where he would remain until 2010, when he switched distribution to his own Real World label.
- Executive Meddling: As mentioned on the main page, the retitle in North America was the result of Geffen Records pushing Gabriel to title the album something other than Peter Gabriel again.
