"Humanoid" is better known as "Stakker Humanoid".
"Global" was the first officially released FSOL-related album. Whilst Brian was the main producer behind the project, Gaz is credited for vocal arrangements and creative input, as well as providing vocals on the industrial-tinged "Sunshine & Brick". The album was co-produced and mixed by John Laker. Aside from "Sunshine & Brick" and the breakthrough acid house track "[Stakker] Humanoid", the tracks here are generally in a garage/house style, with soul and hip-hop vocals from the variety of credited and uncredited vocalists. It could be argued that much of the album has dated over the years, and nothing here resembles anything Brian would go on to do with Gaz, aside from "[Stakker] Humanoid". Artwork design by IDEST.
