One song from that album, "Renaissance Man," was later recorded by The Ocean Blue. "It's So Sad" was later rerecorded, with a drastically different arrangement, by Roe's other band, the Lost Dogs, for their album MUTT.
The title comes from Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl," section 3: "I'm with you in Rockland / where you scream in a straight jacket that you're losing the game of the actual ping pong of the abyss."

gollark: Interesting. Toasters aren't fast, though. So anyone doing it seriously would just port the code to an actual high power computer.
gollark: Only mineable *fast* on some hardware, sure, but I don't think the PS1 has any sort of unique dedicated hardware acceleration features.
gollark: Any Turing machine can emulate any other Turing machine, sort of thing.
gollark: I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
gollark: I would make it as ridiculous as possible while still having it work.
