Additional notes

Three different versions of this album exist. The original, unsigned release had 11 tracks. Four new tracks (marked with a *) were added for the Epitaph release. These new tracks replaced "1000 Paper Cranes", which is not found the regular version (but is included as a "bonus track" on the vinyl LP, briefly available from the band's website, and on the Japanese import).

The first 2 versions of the album were housed in 5" floppy discs and their respective paper sleeves. The second floppy disc release also contains a credits card with a track listing.
