"Suspender Love" was originally the b-side of "He's A Woman, She's A Man" single.
Most versions of this album (including all CD versions with bonus tracks) feature an edited version of "The Sails of Charon". The editing removes an introduction made up of "wind-like" sound effects. The intro does not actually contain any music performed by the band. The complete version is available on a 2010 remastered CD of Taken by Force released only in Japan.
"The Sails of Charon" was also used in the videogame Gran Turismo 5.
On "Born To Touch Your Feelings" a guest woman's voices can be heard. They are performed by some friends and fans: Junko and Mutsumi from Japan, Esther from Suriname, Rosa from Rom, Susan from L.A. and Leila from Tahiti.
