Parts of certain tracks on "Ultravisitor" and four entire pieces were recorded at shows in the UK and the US in summer of 2003. As such, Tom says "The start of "Ultravisitor" features ambient sound from the very same piece being played at a show in L.A. and the outro features ambient sound from a gig at the Leadmill in Sheffield. "Menelec" features an introduction from a show in Nottingham and the outro comes from Toronto I think. The start of "Steinbolt" was recorded in L.A. and the lots of Tetra-Sync including the live electric bass was recorded at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, apart from the intro which comes from Montreal."
