[edit] Miscellanea

The title "TSBOL" stands for "That Small Bubble Of Life" [1]. It is derived from the sample used in the track intro: " Time to work. Time to relax. Time to reflect... Look down. Look down. That fragile bubble of life float on a sea of nothing: [Spaceship Earth.] ".
The title "Pour Te Parler" is French for "So As to Talk to You".
