[edit] Miscellanea

• Track 6, "The Living Daylights", is a re-recording of their theme song to the 1987 James Bond film of the same name. The version here is not the one previously released as a single.

• "This Alone Is Love" previously appeared as the b-side to "I've Been Losing You" in 1986. The version here is a glossier re-recording. The song originated in Waaktaar and Furuholmen's previous band Bridges for its aborted second album.

• "The Blood That Moves the Body" references "Eyes of a Blue Dog," a story by Gabriel García Márquez.

• The title for the song "Out of Blue Comes Green" is courtesy of Pål Waaktaar's soon-to-be wife, Lauren Savoy.
