The title is a reference to the anesthetic midazolam, which Simon Le Bon was given during dental surgery.

In March 1997, the single for "Out of My Mind" from the soundtrack to the film The Saint were released internationally on Virgin Records.

Due to poor sales, plans for a UK release were pushed back, and, later, shelved indefinitely by EMI/Capitol.

It was not physically released in any other area of the world for many years, although in July 2008 the album was made available to buy digitally through iTunes Store in Europe and the US.

All tracks are written by Nick Rhodes, Warren Cuccurullo and Simon Le Bon, except where noted
