Each track also has its own individual artwork. In addition, at the bottom of the "back cover" artwork that contains the credits, the artist simply states to the reader,"Share this music."
The opening track, No Place For Us, is reminiscent of William Basinski's The Disintegration Loops, Biosphere and Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project.[citation needed]
