Comic book

The album was issued with a comic book drawn by Eric San himself. It detailed a DJ captured by a corporation, shrunken down to 1/10th his original size, and placed in a box of the fictional "Disco -o- Flakes" cereal. He breaks out of the box four years later and struggles to become a DJ.

Notes

*The track "Like Irregular Chickens" is a reference to fellow Ninja Tune artist Amon Tobin's track "Like Regular Chickens" on the album Permutation, which itself references the David Lynch film "Eraserhead".
