New Clear Days was news programme), which got to No. 44 in July of that year.

The album-title was a Pun on ''Nuclear Daze'', the album cover showing a rather grimy television screen displaying a TV Weather Forecast . Among the symbols for clouds is one centred over London which is, upon closer examination, a Mushroom Cloud . In addition, one of the temperature symbols has been replaced with one warning of radiation and the weatherman glows.

Apart from the nuclear theme, the Japanese theme is continued on ''Letter from Hiro'', the last track, and ''News at Ten'' reflects a kind of post-modernist cynicism about televisual culture.
