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.

Additional personnel
gollark: Did you know? High performance flywheels can explode, killing bystanders with high speed shrapnel. While batteries can catch fire and release toxins, there is generally time for bystanders to flee and escape injury.
gollark: Including ALL Unicode brackets?
gollark: What if malbolgelisp is to be merged with HBScheme and osmarkscalculator™?
gollark: But still, basically every computer has something like 10 computers in it.
gollark: See, you could just have said that.
