Notes

"Patricia's Park" is Alphaville's first released instrumental track.

The cover features Michelangelo's sun overlaid on a gold-tinted reproduction of Bruegel's Tower of Babel.

Some of the CDs had a sticker announcing that the album is in CD+G format, meaning that the CD contains graphics and text that can be displayed on a TV or monitor connected to the appropriate hardware.

All Words and Music were later performed on »Songlines«.

Recorded and Mixed at Lunapark Studios, Berlin
Except Romeos mixed at Townhouse, London
