Production

The album has a more pronounced electronic sound than its predecessor. Many producers contributed to the album.[4]

Critical reception

Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Another tuneful delight in a different kitchen, Blood Music hustles and bustles, putting emphatic rhythms into songs that could have been cut from the first album’s sparkling pop cloth."[5]
