[edit] Notes

  • The track "Crimewave" is a collaboration with Health, whereas "Vanished" samples the vocals from the track "Sex City" by the band Van She.
  • Prior to release, the original cover, which featured Trevor Brown's black-eyed Madonna artwork, was "banned" due to distributors in the U.S.A. refusing to distribute a CD with Madonna's face on the cover.[citation needed]
