Released in a cardboard slipcase, containing the album in a jewel case sleeve and a 196 page artwork book. The credits on the CD are misleading as to what the actual tracklist is, the back cover of the cd shows 15 tracks, the cd itself has 13 tracks. Two of the tracks are actually two songs in one. By reading the booklet notes carefully, there are actually 16 tracks. The last hidden song "Dead Cities Reprise" starts at around 3:17 after 0:59 seconds of silence and is credited to [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Headstone+Lane]Headstone Lane[/url] (Simon Wells). The total running time of track 9 is 6:57, of track 12 is 5:32 and of track 13 is 4:45. Manufacturer identified via matrix.
