Notes

Red labels edition.

An uncredited female Chinese announcer speaks before the start of "The Overture", and again before "Arpegiator".

"Fishing Junks At Sunset" is a new arrangement of the traditional Chinese song "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" (the title is sometimes translated as "Fisherman's Chant at Dusk"), but there is no acknowledgement of this on this release artwork.

Release sometimes comes with a round black sticker with red writing (on the front cover) reading "Double Album / Includes / 40 Minutes of / New / Material". Also initial release came with A4 'offical merchandise' paper insert

The inner sleeves for both records have this line overprinted along the bottom edge: "THE RUNNING ORDER INDICATED IS INCORRECT PLEASE REFER TO LABELS". The inner sleeve running order is the same as that of the labels except that "Laser Harp" is the last track on side C, not side B.
