Notes

Recorded at Earthbeat Studios, London, 1996.

The credits on the CD are misleading as to what the actual track list is, the back cover of the CD shows 15 tracks, the CD itself has 13 tracks. Two of the tracks are actually two songs in one. The last track has a hidden track after it titled "Dead Cities Reprise" and it starts at around 3:17 after 0:59 seconds of silence and is credited to Headstone Lane (Simon Wells). The total running time of track 9 is 6:57, of track 12 is 5:32 and of track 13 is 4:45.
