Singles

Horndog

The track Horndog was released as a single from this album. The song contains a sample from DJ Kool's Let Me Clear My Throat. Like much of Overseer's work, this track has been used for commercial purposes such as in the 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor advertisement.[1]

The track was also used for the Phoenix Suns player introduction video for the 2007–2008 season.[2]

The track was also used in the trailer for the 2004 film Walking Tall.

Supermoves

"Supermoves" was used in 2002 video game Twin Caliber by Rage Software for PlayStation 2 as the main menu theme, and was also used in Electronic Arts' 2003 video game Need for Speed: Underground. [3] Page 20 of the game's manual also promotes his then new EP "Force Multiply" and briefly describes Overseer.

A remixed version is featured on The Animatrix: The Album.
