Release date: June 6th, 1995

Recorded live at: Earl Court, Rome, Hannover and Modena.

"Pulse" was one of the greatests 1995 releases. It was released initially in an oversize slipcase with hardback book/CD holder and blinking LED on the case spine. EMI booklet has 8 more pages, and slightly different interior graphics. EMI also included a cardboard card with complete tracklist and band member information, and also a suggestion that if the LED gets annoying, you put the slipcase in your car so it'll look like a security system and fool burglars. The EMI discs feature art from the album cover, while the US has "sketch" artwork. The Columbia also has a cardboard card attached to the battery to allow for easy removal. The Columbia LED beats faster than the EMI.

Pulse used a mixing process called QSound, making an amazing effect.

Album cover by Storm Thorgerson.
