Notes

* "Roquefort" was initially supposed to be recorded with a horns section, but the band did not have time to do this during the recording of the album. Harry Angus and Kieran Conrau of The Cat Empire later recorded trumpet and trombone respectively for the single version of Roquefort. This version has been played live, including at Rock-It 2005, as well as other concerts where the horn-players were available and played on the radio during the Triple J Hottest 100 on the 26th of January 2007.
* When the band play Themata live, there is an extended intro, which is much softer than the song, part of which can be heard very low in the mix between the ending of C.O.T.E. and the beginning of Themata.
* When the band play L1FEL1KE live, they replace the "argument" bridge with an abridged cover of "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaak, before moving back into the instrumental portion of the bridge.
* C.O.T.E. stands for Centre of the Earth.
