History
The title of the album is a reference to the ADSR envelope, a component of many synthesizers, samplers, and other electronic musical instruments the function of which is to modulate some aspect of the instrument's sound—often its volume—over time.[12]
Five of the album's ten tracks ("Hustler", "Tits & Acid", "I Believe", "Hotdog" and lead single "It's The Beat") were available prior to the album's release.
A double-disc version of the album contains six alternate versions on a separate CD.
Initial copies bought from Rough Trade Shops came with a bonus 4-track rarities CD.
