The band took advantage of the spatial effect (sometimes described as 3D) achieved by Holophonics to record in unusual locations like The Hellfire Club caves, Christ Church in Hampstead, and Caxton Hall.

The "Eden" suite incorporates a recording of body art pioneer Mr. Sebastian reassuring Psychic TV associate John Balance about a tattoo he is about to give him.

In 2013 Angry Love Productions reissued Dreams Less Sweet as in a limited edition run of 1,000, 320 of which were pressed on red vinyl and also featured an extra CD with bonus material and a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Psychic TV's leader Genesis P-Orridge.

'Dreams Less Sweet' is more like a series of vignettes, sound sketches designed to set a mood or transport the listener to a place".
