Samples

Several of the dialogue samples used on this album come from the 1974 John Carpenter film, Dark Star, specifically:

• "Drop", from the scene when Bomb #20 refuses to detach from the bomb bay doors.
• "Track 15", from the end of the film when Talby enters the Phoenix asteroid cluster, "I'm beginning to glow."
• "Original Control (Version 1)", during the dinner discussion between Pinback and Doolittle: "Do you think we'll ever find any intelligent life out there?" ... "Who cares."
• "Pot Sounds": The sample: "We have come to visit you in peace and with goodwill." is from the original film "The Day the Earth Stood Still".
• "Placebo" the final refrain: "He must answers questions that cannot yet be..." is from the film "The Illustrated Man".
• "Your Mind Belongs to the State", The interview samples at the end came from The Monkees film "Head".
• "Original Control (Version 2)", "I am Elektro." is a sample from Elektro the robot first seen at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
