Track history

"Crackagen" is nearly nine years old; the earliest accessible recording of "Crackagen" is from 2003, in a video recording of Antony's performance at the Oni Gallery in Boston. That video is available on Antony and the Johnsons' official discography.

"Shake That Devil", previously known as "Shake That Dog", was performed often on Antony and the Johnsons' 2006–2007 tour, with varying lyrics. The studio version features a downtempo intro to the song.

"Another World", "Sing for Me", and "Hope Mountain" are entirely new.

Chart performance

In 2009 it was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association, which indicated sales of at least 30,000 copies throughout Europe.
