It just felt like a new frontier,\" adds Thorn. Producer John Coxon of the recently formed drum'n'bass-inspired duo Spring Heel Jack - and with whom the Watt and Thorn had worked on\u003ci\u003e Amplified Heart\u003c\/i\u003e - was invited to provide a backing track for the album's title song, and beats specialist Howie B worked on the groove for Flipside.
