Notes

  • "Lights Out" samples "Sirius" by The Alan Parsons Project.
  • "Hello! (Good To Be Back)" samples both "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again" by Gary Glitter from the 1973 album Touch Me and "3 a.m. Eternal (Live at the S.S.L)" by The KLF from the 1991 album The White Room.
  • "Privileged to Witness" samples "Walking on the Moon" by The Police from the 1979 album Reggatta de Blanc as well as "The Morning After (Thrillseekers Remix)" by 8 Wonders.
  • "Rock Bottom" samples the 2002 song "Explode" by Jordan & Baker and "Alles naar de klote" by Euromasters.
  • "The Leading Horse" samples "The Four Horsemen" by Aphrodite's Child from the 1972 album 666.
  • "Take Me Baby" samples "Take Me Baby" by Jimi Tenor from the 1994 album Sähkömies and the song "Underpass" by John Foxx. In 2021 Jay Frog released the track called "Take Me Baby", which is his own house version of the original song with the vocals distorted in similar way as H.P. Baxxter's signature ones.
  • "Apache" samples the 1960 song "Apache" by The Shadows as well as 2004 song "Tonka" by Jesselyn. In 2007 the Organ Donors' remix of Jesselyn's "Tonka" appeared on the compilation "Pharmacy Vol.5: Our Law" mixed DJ Hellraiser and Organ Donors - the remix samples the "Apache" theme as well and is very similar musically to the "Apache" by Scooter. In 2013 on the web released "20 Years of Hardcore" version of the album "Apache" was accidentally replaced with "Apache Rocks the Bottom (Flip 'n Fill Remix)". Later Kontor Records offered free digital downloads of the track, for those who bought the album on CD or from online music stores.
  • "See Me, Feel Me" samples "Automatic Lover" by Dee D. Jackson from the 1978 album Cosmic Curves. On the "20 Years of Hardcore" re-release, it released as an instrumental version due an error related to the remastering process. Later Kontor Records offered free digital downloads of the corrected version, for those who bought the album on CD or from online music stores.
  • "Everlasting Love" samples the 1967 song "Everlasting Love" by Robert Knight.
  • "Seven Bridges" samples "Über sieben Brücken mußt du gehn" by Karat.
