The song "Nasa Arab" originally appeared in a shorter form on the album Stolen & Contaminated Songs. "First Dark Ride" would later appear on Unnatural History III.
The title of the song is from an episode of I Dream of Jeannie season 3 episode 1 in which Jeannie turns into a water boy and says "inshallah" to Dr. Bellows, who then asks Tony "Who is this?" Tony replies "Oh the water boy sir, probably one of Nasa's Arab." Balance, who had no title for the piece came upon this episode of the show that he was watching distractly and that line stuck with him, he mentioned it to Christopherson and they used it.
The following people are credited for participating on this release: John Balance, Peter Christopherson, Danny Hyde and Drew McDowall.
