[edit] Miscellanea

  • It was originally planned that Kraftwerk should have collaborated on the album, but it didn't happen because of scheduling conflicts.
  • A 6 track promo version of "Metamorphoses" exists with an extended version of "Hey Gagarin" (length 8:33)
  • A song initially planned for the album named "Crazy Saturday" was omitted from the album. It resurfaced a few months later and was renamed "metamorphoses" and used in the "Global Tekno" art exhibition, part of the Festival d'Avignon. In 2006 the track finally got released on iTunes as part of Live Printemps de Bourges 2002. Again the track was renamed, this time to "Body Language".
