Themes
The voice of a woman repeating words and numbers in German during "Even the Waves" is from a famous numbers station broadcast on shortwave frequencies. "S.O.S." was one of the first songs Moore wrote for the album. The spoken sample is of a German man Moore met in Santa Fe who described his experiences of hitch-hiking from LA to Santa Fe.{{cite web|author=Gary Davis |url=http://www.artist-shop.com/irc/kmoore.htm |title=Artist Shop/Kevin Moore Chat Log |publisher=Artist-shop.com |date=1998-08-26 |accessdate=2012-02-12}}
