This album was funded by Trent Reznor's Nothing Records and completed in late 1993. However, upon the album's completion, for what the band called obscure reasons, the label chose not to release it. With no final contract signed between the parties, the band self-released it digitally for free in 1996. After remaining offline for several years thereafter, it reappeared digitally via the Mondo Vanilli bandcamp page in 2011, with a slightly revised tracklist.

Recorded in 1993 at Razor’s Edge Studio, San Francisco. All music sequenced in Opcode StudioVision software. All songs copyrighted by Scrappi Duchamp/David Fleminger on behalf of Mondo Vanilli. Photos appearing here are by Jay Blakesberg and appeared in Mondo 2000. Track 6 is a remix of Love Is The Product.
