NH3 is the chemical symbol for ammonia and it was printed in the inner sleeve as well as "avenue" abbreviated to Ave. and none the less devoted to the commerciality of "Don't Answer Me" while otherwise the title track preceded by Pipeline and a few other tracks convey themes of a rather chemical industrialization of the world...

@DaveAMKrayoGuy You are right to coomment on the obviously weak relationship between the album title and the individual tracks except for "Pipeline" and "Ammonia Avenue".

From the APP perspective, its now defunct website described the album as, "... focused on the possible misunderstanding of industrial scientific developments from a public perspective and a lack of understanding of the public from a scientific perspective." (hyperlink is in the Wikipedia article on the album) To realize a fuller meaning of the description, one should view the two official music videos for tracks on the album (available on YouTube) -- "Prime Time" and "Don't Answer Me". The videos, are, of course, no help to people who only hear the audio recordings.
From the perspective of the self-described album concept, the "Prime Time" video features mannequin-robots whose "prime time" are the moments they transform into humans. (Of course, the male and female types forms can have affectionate relationships during prime time.) The "Don't Answer Me" video is also devoid of human characters and features numerous static comic strip characters from a comic book entitled "The Adventures of Nick and Sugar". The video also has comic strip portrayals of the APP group performers, including Parsons and Woolfson. The relationship to technology may only be the animation techniques used to produce the music video.
