Notes
Reputed to be the first output of Front Line Assembly, this recording was issued in tape form only, probably distributed by Bill Leeb himself, and there are reputed to be only about 50 copies in existence. Leeb has stated in interview that even he does not possess a copy. This may account for the fact that the tracks present have never been reissued in any form.Early copies of the tape contained the track 'Thy Glory' on the end of side A. This track contains a bassline which was ripped off directly from The Tear Garden song 'Tear Garden', and when cEvin Key (of Skinny Puppy and The Tear Garden) heard the track he told Leeb to remove it from the tape - which on the later copies he did. This didn't stop Bill from submitting the track 'Thy Glory' to the Belgium label Insane Music for inclusion on their compilation tape Insane Music For Insane People Volume 25.
Untitled 5 was mislabeled "Certain Style" and Untitled 4 was mislabeled "Power Of"
"Certain Style" and "Power Of Oppression" were joined as one track labeled "Oppression"
"As Of You" and "Untitled 1" were joined to one track and mislabeled "As Of You."
