Psyence Fiction is the title of the debut album by the group UNKLE, released in 1998 for Mo'Wax. "Unreal" is an instrumental version of the song "Be There" (featuring Ian Brown), which was released a year later as a single. On some early presses of the album, instrumental versions of "Guns Blazing" and "The Knock" were added as tracks 13 & 14. On some re-releases of this album, "Be There" was added as Track 12. Some versions contain the hidden track "Intro (optional)" as track zero. This can be accessed by 'rewinding' the first track on some CD players.
