In the song "My Heart Bleeds the Darkest Blood" the sample played before the songs began (on Solely Concentrating on the Negative Aspects of Life) is Bill Murray saying "It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be gray. And it's gonna last you for the rest of your life." in Groundhog Day. (1993). A music video was made for that song in 1997. [http://youtube.com/watch?v=5pGQR9Q5oPg]

The lyrics in the song "Outside the Boundaries of a Friend" are inspired in a failed relationship of guitarist Matt Fox. [ [http://www.ruleeverymoment.com/media/interviews/interview.php?id=6 Shai Hulud ] ]

An early version of "Beyond Man" called "Favor" can be found in "" from the 1995 demo.

The lyrics in the song "Eating Bullets of Acceptance" talk about how vegans idealise and thought they are better than anyone else. Interestingly the song was written by a vegan (Dave Silver)

The original name of the song "For the World" was "Sauve Qui Peut" (Save Which Can), the early version can be found in "A Comprehensive Retrospective: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Release Bad and Useless Recordings" and the Plea For Peace/Take Action compilation. The song was written by Damien Moyal.

The techno/industrial version of If Born From This Soil titled "If Born From This Soil: Treatments for the Infected Foetus" was arranged by Jonathan Wright and his project, Minor Procedure.

The sample that closes the record is "This is Lieutenant Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off." Sigourney Weaver in Alien (1979)

In the thanks list, Will Haven is thanked twice.
