Sigh have admitted their claims that the album was recorded using Japanese World War II sonic weaponry techniques were false. The rumour was circulated firstly to excuse the poor final master and also because Century Media refused to distribute the album. The label had actually been expecting a more black metal-oriented album and were dissatisfied with the avant-garde direction Sigh had taken.
The album was remastered by James Murphy and reissued by The End Records as early as 2007. A separate remaster by Ken Sorceron was released by Blood Music in 2012. Both reissues used a blue variant on the original cover artwork.
Recording information:
Recorded at Studio Moopies / Studio Sarasvati, August 2004 - July 2005.
