Samples
edit"Omen" samples "Song to the Siren" by This Mortal Coil and "(How to Be A) Millionaire" by ABC.
Artwork
editThe record sleeve was designed by the usual Orbital collaborator Gavin Fultano (Fultano 90) with photography by Sally Harding and computerised by Chris Smith. The sleeve features a clasping hand in what looks like a heat map.
