David Sylvian said about the track: "Blue of Noon was never a finished piece as far as I was concerned (it was originally a song in fact). I felt it needed work to help it stand on its own feet."
Steve Jansen said about the track: "Yes it was recorded in Berlin during Brilliant Trees sessions. It was a live recording, we played the track a number of times and this was the best take. Wayne (bass) may have dropped in for a line here or there once the drums and piano were recorded."[2]
