"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.

Famous quotes containing the word track:
“Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
