Notes

Sleeve includes some prose/poems, one defining Remindlessness, and another about Erskine the magician, plus the following:

THE MASCULINE SHALL ALWAYS CONTAIN
THE FEMININE
AND THE FEMININE SHALL ALWAYS CONTAIN
THE MASCULINE
AND THE PLURAL SHALL ALWAYS CONTAIN
THE SINGULAR
AND THE SINGULAR SHALL ALWAYS CONTAIN
THE PLURAL

Karmic Hit reissued this album on CD in 2002 with the tracks "Random Pan" and "Pain in My Temples" restored. In their announcement, from May 6, 2002, they describe it as "18 stunning, beautiful and otherworldly treasures that haven't been available for 12 years, now beautifully remastered and with two tracks left off the last CD version. Hear this stunning work in it's entirety, as it was intended. If you haven't heard this album (originally a double when release on vinyl) you are in for a treat. Prepare to be transported into the world of SK." They went on to say, "This is the first in our SK remasters, we eagerly await them all." Unfortunately, due to screw-ups in production, tracks 14 and 15 are merged together as one track, as are tracks 16 and 17. In addition, Peter Koppes' name is misspelt.
