also used the Roland G-707, an early guitar synthesiser ("It's been mostly old gear, but new sounds,") while Chad developed a liking for using vari-speed techniques when recording, "slowing the tape down to half-time, transposing the guitar line down about four semi-tones and then playing it back at normal speed. It all helps make the tones interesting." Composition Draper said the segues between songs were influenced by side two of The Beatles' Abbey Road (1969) and side one of Prince's Parade (1986). The ending of "Fall Out," which re-incorporates the riff from "Legacy", features the MXR flanger Eventide DSP4000. As Chad played the riff through the DSP400, Draper twirled the knobs simultaneously, contributing to a "really fucked up sound." "Fall out" also incorporates elements of The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The main riff of "Anti-Everything" uses a Bel BF20 rack flanger. Chad recalled "it's on the verge of being out-of-tune-y, but it's a fantastic noise." Packaging The album's sleeve art was a painting produced by Max Schindler, and commissioned especially for the album. It contains many references to personal interests and obsessions of the band, such as a TARDIS and an image of Tom Baker as Doctor Who, and Patrick McGoohan as Number 6 (sitting in the ball chair commonly occupied by the different Number 2's), from The Prisoner. There is also a depiction of Winnie the Pooh standing close to a painting that may be a reproduction of Vinegar tasters, a Taoist allegorical painting. Guitarist Dominic Chad is known to be both a Taoist and a fan of A. A. Milne, and the album's name is in fact a reference to Milne's book Now We Are Six. The cover art also depicts a number of (perhaps non-existent) books, including: Life as a Series of Compromises by Graham Langdon Who On Earth is Tom Baker? by Tom Baker (the actor's autobiography) Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell (1984 was one of the album's working titles) The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade (referenced in the lyrics of "Legacy") The Book of Mormon (referenced in the lyrics of "Cancer") The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin (referenced in the lyrics of “Inverse Midas”) People Places, a talk given by architect Richard Rogers (referenced in the lyrics of "Anti-Everything") The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne (referenced in the lyrics of "Shotgun") Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard (referenced
