Featuring a stellar cast of guest players, "The First Odd Prime"'s thunderous rhythms come courtesy of Simple Minds' Jim McDermott on Drums, with Glenn Lewis (guitars) and Nick Blythe (bass) adding to its swirling maelstrom of sounds. US star N'dea Davenport (Brand New Heavies, Malcolm McClaren) also contributes her vocals to its hypnotic chorus hooks.
