The computer-generated cover art for the album was provided by David Patchett, but he asked to be removed from the credits because he was not satisfied with the result. The version used was actually a prototype provided by Patchett, but the band decided to use it in its incomplete form.

Michael Kenney is not credited for his keyboard performance - this is due to an oversight that saw no musicians, including the band members, being credited in the album booklet.
