Track 2-6: "Doctor Blowfin's Water Cruiser" was originally titled "Danger Bay" on Bubble Metropolis.

Both discs are black with turquoise text. Second disc of the other release version is turquoise with black text.

Both matrix numbers contain a 11-digit string of an unicode character (white circle overlapping a "+" sign) following the "1" after the DIDX code. String sequence: * ** ********.

Liner Notes:

"Could it be possible for humans to breathe underwater? A fetus in its mother's womb is certainly alive in an aquatic environment.

During the greatest Holocaust the world has ever known, pregnant America-bound African slaves were thrown overboard by the thousands during labor for being sick and disruptive cargo. Is it possible that they could have given birth at sea to babies that never needed air?

Recent experiments have shown mice able to breathe liquid oxygen. Even more shocking and conclusive was a recent instance of a premature human infant saved from certain death by breathing liquid oxygen through its underdeveloped lungs.

These facts combined with reported sightings of gill men and swamp monsters in the coastal swamps of southeastern United States make the slavetrade theory startingly feasible.

Are Drexciyans water-breathing, aquatically mutated descendants of those unfortunate victims of human greed? Have they been spared by God to teach us or terrorize us? Did they migrate from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mississippi river basin and on to the Great Lakes of Michigan?

Do they walk among us? Are they more advanced than us and why do they make their strange music?

What is their quest?

These are many of the questions that you don’t know and never will.

The end of one thing...and the beginning of another.
