"Crackagen" could be nearly 9 years old, and is among the first songs Antony ever wrote and performed. The earliest accessible recording of "Crackagen" is from 2003, in a video recording of Antony's performance at the Oni Gallery in Boston. That video is available on Antony & the Johnson's official discography.
"Shake That Devil," previously known as "Shake That Dog," was performed often on Antony and the Johnson's 2006-07 tour, with varying lyrics. The studio version features a downtempo intro to the song. The saxophone is featured prominently for the first time in an Antony and the Johnson's song.
"Another World," "Sing For Me," and "Hope Mountain" are entirely new.
