Notes

Pressed on a black CD, cased in a single-folded digipak.

Recorded and mixed between 2001 and 2008. The song "Hands Tied to the Roots of a Hemorrhage" is the foundation of what would become "Eriatarka" on The Mars Volta's first full-length, De-loused in the Comatorium. Also, the song "Teflon" from TMV's 2009 album Octahedron includes parts worked from the song "A Story Teeth Rotted For".

“Literally a timeless record: Remembering a friend, using a song that was too much for At The Drive-In and making a blueprint of a song The Mars Volta recorded many years later.” – Clouds Hill
