Notes
A specially labeled spirit level (the tool used to check if things are level) was issued to promote the album. Photo
Inside the CD trayliner is reproduced a pair of pages from the 1957 essay Reflections on the Guillotine by French Algerian philosopher, author and journalist Albert Camus (as it appeared in his posthumous collection of essays Resistance, Rebellion, and Death).
