Samples

Several of the dialogue samples used on this album come from the 1974 John Carpenter film, Dark Star, specifically:

  • "Pot Sounds": The sample: "We have come to visit you in peace and with goodwill." is from the original film "The Day the Earth Stood Still".
  • "Placebo" the final refrain: "He must answers questions that cannot yet be..." is from the film "The Illustrated Man".
  • "Your Mind Belongs to the State", The interview samples at the end came from The Monkees film "Head".
  • "Your Mind Belongs to the State", The interview samples throughout came from James Toback documentary "The Big Bang.
