The tracks "Semykyoku", "Anus Anvil Anxiety" and "Mortegage" from the original release are missing from this version. "Intermission" is a short excerpt of "Dahkini Disko" from the original. Full-length versions of "Anus Anvil Anxiety" and "Mortegage" were included in the Merzbox .

The material on Loop Panic Limited is primarily taken from the then-unreleased Agni Hotra . "Industrial Pollusion 2" is a version of "3 Types of Industrial Pollusion", included on the reissue of Antimonument . The album title might be a reference to the underground publisher Loompanics Unlimited.

The track "Fireploof Enema 1" was used on Russell Haswell's track "Micromedley" on the Merzbow remix album Scumtron .
