Notes

© Durtro 1992
℗ World Serpent

This is the sister album to Nurse With Wound's Thunder Perfect Mind.

Reissue with a slight change in the artwork: the picture of David Tibet that once adorned the cover had turned into a Louis Wain kitten.

Although Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots is mentioned in the credits, he didn't actually perform on this album.

Track 12 was originally written and performed by Sand and taken from their album "Golem".
The words for tracks 13 and 14 were taken from the text of the same name in the Nag Hammadi Codices.
This album was mixed, engineered and produced at Topic Studios, London between September 1990 and February 1992.
