Notes: Human Being, as many a Trevor Horn production, was a slow album to make. At one point, Seal and Horn fell out (getting into a fist fight in the process) and it was announced that Horn was off the project and Seal would be taking over production. However, they subsequently made up and Horn returned. Note also Magnification producer Tim Weidner mixing, YesSymphonic tour manager Paul Silviera as an assistant engineer and Jon Anderson live keyboardist David Sancious. (HP, 10 Mar 02)
