Trivia

• The font used on the cover is Helvetica Neue
• The title is a play on Lennie De Ice's "We Are I.E."
• The track titles are plays on the Yamaha RY30 drum machine, which is the only instrument used on the EP with bits of FX in different channels. These were also the first tracks to use the RY30.
• Due to an oversight, the record sleeve doesn't specify whether it needs to be played at 33⅓ or 45 rpm. It is accepted that it was meant to be 45 rpm since the song durations at that speed match up with the durations listed in the mail order letter, however Sean joked that the original intentional to not clarify it "should be honoured" .
