Notes

• "Fantasia" allegedly contains samples from the same porn film that was sampled for "COME ON YOU SLAGS!" from James' ...I Care Because You Do album. "Italic eyeball" samples Maria von Trapp from The Sound of Music as she sings "Perhaps I had a wicked childhood", while "Humanoid Must not escape" features distorted samples of David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth (the "Let's fuck!" and "Yeah yeah!") and the Atari 5200 game Robotron 2084.

• "The Garden of LINMIRI" was featured in a television advertisement for Pirelli tires featuring Carl Lewis running around New York City with tire treads on his feet.

• "WE ARE THE MUSIC MAKERS (HARDCORE MIX)" is a remix (or an entirely new version) of "We Are the Music Makers" from James' debut album, Selected Ambient Works 85-92. The "HARDCORE MIX" is much faster than the original, and features completely new beats (the only thing keeping the two songs related are the equipment the songs were recorded on, and the movie sample.)
