Track notes

"Extract From Empathy #2" and "Extract From Empathy #3" are additional fragments taken from The Empathy Session, with previous fragments having been included on The Last Man to Fly and Sheila Liked the Rodeo. [2]

"Dr. Chang's Tummy Rub" was originally titled "Changer." The newer name is dedicated to one of cEvin's pet cats, Chang (1996-2002).[ citation needed ]

The word "drown" was misprinted as "down" for the track "The Bomb Bomb Loopapa Tribe Drown Themselves in a Vat of Marmite" on initial pressings of the album. The title of this track is related to the Legendary Pink Dots song "The Bomb Bomb Loopapa Tribe Go to Swansea and Eat It."[ citation needed ]
