Bunktertor 7 includes a sample from the movie Kindergarten Cop. The children of the Kindergarten class are taught not to talk to strangers and they say "Never talk to strangers". The sample is played at a higher speed and pitch than the direct sample.

Track 9, 'Dying Culture', contains notably the alarm sound sampled from the 1981 short film by Caro & Jeunet Le bunker de la dernière rafale (The Bunker of the Last Gunshots).

The popular song 'Thorns' (track 10) has no vocals, but contains a modified sample from the 1986 film Highlander of The Kurgan (Clancy Brown) telling Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Sean Connery) "Tonight you sleep in hell."
