It was reissued in its original form on CD in Japan in 1991. HistoryThe opening suite "Words with the Shaman" was simultaneously issued as a 12" single, while "Steel Cathedrals" was used in a short film by Sylvian and Yasayuki Yamaguchi, shot in Tokyo, Japan, and released on VHS. The soundtrack features the voice of Jean Cocteau. In 2003, the album was remastered and included two additional songs: "The Stigma of Childhood (Kin)", originally recorded for Gaby Agis's dance piece, Kin; and "A Brief Conversation Ending in Divorce". Both songs were originally released in 1989 on the Pop Song EP. Track listing
