[edit] Misc

'Crystal Mass' is plagued by a terrible tracking error: tracks 4 and 5 ('Hopeful' and 'Her Majesty's Trusted Food Taster') are indexed as a single 10:23 track. In addition, the track listing on the album mistakenly titles track 6 as 'Her Majesty's Trusted Food Taster' when in actuality it is 'Castaway'.

'To Mourn The Death Of Colour' is used as a lyric in the The Legendary Pink Dots song Cheraderama.
