Notes
Quotes from the documentary on the DVD of the Some Great Reward remaster from 2006:
Gareth Jones: The acoustics of People Are People and the sound of the beats and the big fills things, is all the sound of the rooms, with the beats getting thrown around Hansa Studio: three floors down for the bass drum, snare drum one floor over, toms in another room over there that, kind of thing. The whole building was shaking.
Alan Wilder: It gives quite a big sounding record, the biggest sort of in that sense [makes a large box with hand gestures], the biggest we've ever made, and it seemed that it had something going for it.
Daniel Miller: We just basically pressed 'play' and just ran it, and everybody sang along, and it just seemed like it all sounded great, even before we recorded it properly. Andy Fletcher: We thought it was a good song. Now, we're not too keen on it. It's probably... It's our biggest hit that we don't play.
