Contents

The basis of both "Drugged" pieces were reused for the title track of No-Man's album Together We're Stranger as well as "Drugged 3" from Bass Communion II . Brief distorted extracts from the suite can also be heard on the 1996 song "Urban Disco," a b-side from the "Housewives Hooked on Heroin" single (of the Wild Opera album), recorded by No-Man, a Wilson project and collaboration with singer-songwriter Tim Bowness.
