Description:"Sex Machine (Extended Version)" is made longer by repeating some of the parts, plus extending the exchange between Sally and the men in the very beginning. "Machine Sex" is an interesting, re-worked version that uses a lot of backwards sounds and no vocals. The long instrumental "Flesh and Steel" is actually four shorter pieces strung together by a similar, high tempo beat. All four parts combine beats with David's usually esoteric use of samples and sounds, combined in a kind of complex, rhythmic mix down. The 7" version of the "Flesh and Steel" b-side (see below) is shorter, and is possibly just one or two of the four seperate pieces of the longer version.
