Trivia

• It is one of the very few CDs to have CD+G content. As the CD+G format never caught on and compatible players are somewhat difficult to find, the whole content was also made available on the band's Web site.
• "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" was used in a sampler disc bundled with the Sega CD to showcase the console's CD+G capability. It had the same graphics as in the album.
