There were many musical guests on the album, including David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Herbie Hancock, Grace Jones, and Sting (who provided backing vocals on "The Promise").
The album's artwork featured painted ink drawings by fashion illustrator Tony Viramontes[1] of fashion model Violeta Sanchez as well as an innovative "light space" photograph of the band by Dean Chamberlain, who also directed the video for the song "Missing."[2] Nick Rhodes said of the model Sanchez on the album cover, "She had an elegance to her, an old style classic beauty".[1]
