This Original Masters re-issue presented as a standard digipak. Original versions came in a clear plastic cover sleeve with barcode sticker. This version has no plastic sleeve and the barcode has been incorporated into the rear artwork. A link to the first version can be found here.
The track 'titles' are in fact just arbitrary 'positions' on the release itself. The titles are the 'pictures', which are drawings of what the music supposedly 'sounds like', an attempt by the artist to transcribe electronic music beyond the confines of conventional musical notation.
The durations on the artwork are listed minus the silent gaps between the tracks:
1/1 - 16:30
2/1 - 8:20
1/2 - 11:30
2/2 however is completely in error (stated as 6:00) as the music actually lasts 9:38.
