Trivia
- The cover art, designed by The Designers Republic, is a collage of simplified abstract shapes using images from a New York trip, specifically "some street-level structural (under the E-train tracks), a shot overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge (probably) from the Empire State Building, and some images found in magazines in hotel lobbies and airline magazines on the flight back (shots of the NASA control room, of white goods junkyards)." [8]
- In the July 2022 Twitch AMA, Sean mentioned that they were using C-Lab Creator on the Atari up until about "halfway through doing Chiastic Slide" before getting Macs where they used Logic "towards the end of doing Chiastic" . [9]
