From "art sex music" by Cosey Fanni Tutti (p. 263):
"I'd been approached to make a sound work for RAI, Italian national radio, based on the theme of 'A Journey Through the Body'. [...] We all went to Rome to record at RAI's studios for a week. The studio technicians were a joke - they were stoned or drunk and unhelpful most of the time - so we took over the recording sessions and recorded with their grand piano, synthesizers and other assorted instruments. When we came to leave, RAI refused to give us a copy of the recording. All we got was a cassette tape of it. It was unofficially released in 1982 on a label of unknown origin with unfamiliar titles, and one track appended with '(for Paula'), with a photo of her on the inner sleeve. [...] That misrepresentation of the work was eventually rectified when it was officially released some years later by Mute Records."
Recorded in the five days from Monday 16 March to Friday 20 March 1981
