• The original Japanese pressings of the EP have a mastering error on "Skttrbrain" which causes loud static to be heard in the left channel four times throughout the song. This version was recalled and the error was fixed on subsequent releases.

"Fog"

"Fog (Again)" is a short acoustic song 2:19, featuring Thom Yorke on vocals and piano. This version was recorded at an acoustic set, widely known as 'Le Reservoir', which Thom and Jonny did for the French-German TV station Arte. The original "Fog" appeared on 2001 single "Knives Out", in a 4/4 rather than 6/8 time signature, and as a mainly bass and percussion-driven song, in a style in keeping with their work of the Kid A/Amnesiac period. The original version of the song, which runs 4:05 in length, has been reported as featuring prominently in the film adaptation of Philip K. Dick's "A Scanner Darkly", which was released in July 2006 [1].
