Background

Although track one is listed as "Futher", its title is supposed to be "Further", as the track is a variation on "Further Back and Faster" from the Love's Secret Domain sister album.

An alternate version of "Who'll Fall?" was released as "Is Suicide a Solution?" on the single "Airborne Bells/Is Suicide a Solution?".

The song "Omlagus Garfungiloops" features excerpts of dialogue from the 1990 cult film The Reflecting Skin.

After the final track, "Light Shining Darkly", there is a short period of silence before a hidden track plays.

Release details

The first edition (LOCI4) had a different cover and came without info of any kind, except for a small numbered flyer stating "This is stolen and contaminated songs". Some copies have a paper sticker on the back of the CD jewel box with the band name, album title (with "1991 e.v." underneath), tracklist, an address for World Serpent Distribution and a UPC barcode. The later release changed the titles of all of the songs from this edition, albeit with some only having different punctuation.

The album was reissued on CD and vinyl (for the first time) in November 2019 via Cold Spring Records, Coldspring.co.uk.
