Notes

The album's first track, "Dissolution", is one of very few songs by Ozric Tentacles to make use of noticeable vocals.

The seventh track, "Kick Muck" is a reference to the dust in the fields at free festivals typical in the '80's. Popular with fans at such open air venues, its name refers to the dance style at front of stage. The song oscillates between periods of intense, high tempo guitar and slower electronic psychedelia, enabling the crowd to recover before the next bout of "kicking muck"[3]
