Notes
- The title of track 10, "-... .- -.-. ...." spells out 'Bach' in morse code.
- The title of track 11, "1:4:9" is the proportions of the black monolith from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- "Asa Nisi Masa" is a gibberish phrase found in the film 8½. As a child, the main character Guido Anselmi is told by a fellow orphan that uttering this phrase at night will bring to life a certain portrait, and reveal a secret treasure hidden within the orphanage.
- "In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster" is a reference to the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being and is also the title of Shining's previous record.
