Hurrah Hurrah Apocalypse and Lit de Parade were produced by Vacuum, aka Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Ancien regime campiness isn't dead, mesdames et messieurs. Over the top as always, this time the Sexual Revolution is proclaimed by the extravagant quartet. "Stand together black and white. Sleep united, hold on tight tonight." The music itself doesn't match their bizarre looks anymore. Only time will tell if it will earn or cost them airplay. With most tracks it could go either way, but the reggae tune Mr Battyman is a sure winner."[3]
