The album's booklet also features commentaries for each song by Pixies frontman Frank Black. Of "Velvety Instrumental Version", he writes, "The title implies that there was a version with lyrics, but there wasn't." A non-instrumental version, titled simply "Velvety", would later appear on Frank Black and the Catholics' 2002 album, Devil's Workshop.

gollark: Probably the best I could get would be a very old ARM SoC of some sort.
gollark: I'm defining "usable" as "has WiFi, performance competitive with my fairly recent Intel laptop, has usable high performance GPU".
gollark: I mean, nothing usable.
gollark: I'm pretty sure that's... nothing...?
gollark: Yes, the accursedly C-involving kernel with constant vulnerabilities.
