靈魂樂
"The Luxury Gap" was recorded at AIR Studios in London with co-producer Greg Walsh. It was recorded under the working title "Ashes and Diamonds". The band's ambition was to combine their love of soul music with electronic music. Soul music was a particularly strong influence on the vocal arrangements, most notably on the song "Temptation", which became a hit single. Virgin Records did not require the band to work on a budget, which allowed them to write in the studio and to use the studio as a musical tool, creating complex and detailed arrangements and have three songs orchestrated.
