Songs

Even the Waves

The voice of a woman repeating words and numbers in German during this track is from a famous numbers station broadcast on shortwave frequencies.

S.O.S.

"S.O.S." was one of the first songs Moore wrote for the album. The spoken sample is of a German man Moore met in Santa Fe who described his experiences of hitch-hiking from LA to Santa Fe.^[3]

Hell Mary

The speech synthesizer in "Hell Mary" recites a paragraph from the Bayside prophecies by Veronica Lueken.^[4] Moore has stated that "["Hell Mary"] has something to do with the end of the world, I think. And hallucinogenic visions thereof as experienced by a computer."^[3]
