Notes

• "Killer Bees" is a cover of "Mind the Gap" by The KLF from the 1987 album 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?).
• "One (Always Hardcore)" is partially a cover of "Always Hardcore" by Neophyte, which itself is based again on the chorus refrain of "Alive" by Pearl Jam, taken from the 1991 album Ten. The single version samples melody from the song "Move On Baby" by Cappella.
• "Shake That!" samples the song "After Dark" by Tito & Tarantula, taken from the 1996 soundtrack to the film From Dusk Till Dawn, the chorus of the KC & The Sunshine Band song "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" from the 1976 album Part 3 and the house track 'The Opera House' by Jack E Makossa. The sample from "After Dark" has appeared in pre-album single web release only and was replaced in the album version of the song.
• "My Eyes Are Dry" is a partial cover of Tuxedomoon's 1978 song "No Tears"
• "All I Wanna Do" samples the Sheryl Crow song "All I Wanna Do" from the 1993 album Tuesday Night Music Club.
• "Jigga Jigga!" came 2nd in a vote to choose Germany's entrant in the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest, and samples the song "Exile" from the 1988 album Watermark by Enya as well as "L'annonce Des Couleurs (The Mystery Remix)" by Mac Zimms, "Creatures" by Alex M.O.R.P.H. and "Symbols" by Fictivision vs. C-Quence.
• "Panties Wanted" is a cover of the song by Bad City Rockerz.
• "Trance-Atlantic" - the whole track samples the track "Out Of Our Lives" by Active Sight (a collaboration of Fred Baker and M.I.K.E.). On the "20 Years of Hardcore" re-release there is an edited version of the track from the 2005 "Suavemente / Trance-Atlantic" vinyl.
• "Stripped" is a cover of the Depeche Mode song from the 1986 album Black Celebration. On the "20 Years of Hardcore" re-release it can be heard in a slightly modified version, which was played live during the 2006 "Who's Got The Last Laugh Now?" tour.
• "Suavemente", was originally performed by Elvis Crespo on the 1998 album Suavemente. On the "20 Years of Hardcore" re-release, it was replaced by the single version.
• "The Avenger's Back" is a half cover of Eddie Floyd's 1966 song "Knock On Wood", in particular sampling the 1979 disco version by Amii Stewart, taken from her 1979 album Knock On Wood.
• "Trip to Nowhere" samples the 2002 single "Solarcoaster" by Solarstone as well as "Cristalle (Katana Feat. DJ Precision Remix)" by Viframa.
