[edit] Miscellanea
- The original tracklist intended for Infinity was different from its final release. Due to the record label's time restraints, Townsend could not finish some of the tracks. These were later included on the Christeen (Plus Four Demos) EP. [1] The original tracklist was:
-
- "Truth"
- "Processional (Star Child Rise - Welcome Home - Metamorph - Infinite Waltz)"
- "Christeen"
- "War"
- "Soul Driven"
- "OM"
- "Dynamics"
- "Unity"
- Track 5, "Soul Driven", has the lyric "sing Mauté Dingas." This was inspired from a dream Townsend had of a king moth, whose name was Mauté Dingas. [2]
- The "Sonic Booms" heard in the album, such as the ending of "War", are reused from Endless Nameless, an album by the British rock group The Wildhearts that Devin was a member of for a few months in 1994.
- Track 13, "Man", later appeared on Ass-Sordid Demos.
