Notes

• "Rebel Yell" is a cover of theBilly Idol song, taken from the1983album of the same name.
• The song "Last Minute" is a version of theHebrewfolk song "Hava Nagila".
• "Experience" is based on Scooter's unreleased remix of "Angeli Domini" by Datura.
• "Back in the U.K." samples the theme tune of theBritishtelevision seriesMiss Marple, originally composed byRon Goodwin.^[1]
• "Hysteria" is a cover of "Hysteria (There's No Reason To Be Disturbed)" by Hysteria. This track was made by Rick J. Jordan in 1991, so this track is technically a cover of their own track.
• A remixed version of "Crank It Up" is used in theDa Ali G Show asBrüno's (played bySacha Baron Cohen)theme music. This version is later used in the 2009 movie "Brüno".
