Critical reception and legacy

A version of the title track was used as the main theme of the original Chinese version of Jackie Chan's 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (蛇形刁手).\n

A variation of the track Carry On, Turn Me On was used in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris as the Olympic torch was being carried along the River Seine towards the eventual lighting of the cauldron.\n

In 2012, writer David Buckley compared the single \"Magic Fly\" to Daft Punk, stating \"It seems as if Daft Punk have long-lost parents after all\".\n

Track listing

\n\n

The 1983 USSR release features a new composition entitled \"Just Blue\" by Didier Marouani to replace the track \"Carry On, Turn Me On\" which was removed due to censorship. The track \"Velvet Rape\" is also renamed to Вежливое Похищение which translated is \"Polite Kidnapping\". In 1996 the original was finally released in Russia on cassette.\n
