The durations given on the release for tracks 7 ('One Day', 5:24) and 8 ('Aeroplane', 3:54) are inaccurate, the durations entered above are correct. Features approx. one minute of silence between track 11 ('The Anchor Song') and track 12 ('Play Dead').

From the booklet:

"I must have listened to each of these tracks more than 500 times since we started. Everything's long since finished but I'm still listening to these songs everyday. I'm wondering...will this ever stop???!! We are so lucky to have Björk's voice!!" Nellee.
