Originally, the album was to include a second disc of new remixes; however, this idea was abandoned due to budget limitations, and the few remixes that were produced were released on the OMD Remixes EP.

The Sash! remix of "Enola Gay" sampled news broadcasts announcing the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, as well as the Robert Oppenheimer quote, "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds."

1. "Enola Gay" (OMD vs. Sash! remix edit)
