Trivia
- PLUS's catalogue number's digits add up to 14 (3+3+8) in the same way as SIGN (3+2+9). This could imply that both SIGN and PLUS are considered to be the 14th album, or that they are part of the same project.
- In one of the Twitch AMAs, Sean remarked that PLUS should've been an EP with a few tracks removed, but that they "got greedy" and made it an album. [5]
- When asked which tracks should've been removed, he stated "the mellow synth ones" (likely referring to "lux 106 mod", "ii.pre esc" and "esle 0"). [6]
- As with SIGN the Japanese CD cover is minimally different compared to other versions. In PLUS's case the background has been darkened slightly and the yellow parts have been recolored green. [7]

Sean likely misspoke rather than saying it was used on SIGN but then only referenced (but not used) on PLUS.

- ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022. "ecol4 is such a beautiful, off-kilter ghostly stir with bells. Did that feature an oil drum too? No, that’s all Max/MSP."
- ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022. "PLUS should’ve been an EP, and it should’ve had two, three tracks removed from it, but I was being greedy, but that's what we should’ve done. PLUS was basically it should have been an EP. It felt like an EP when we were compiling it."
- ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022. "Which track should have been removed? [from PLUS] From, are you asking me about PLUS there, I assume so? Yeah, the, sort of, the more mellow synth ones. I probably would have pulled off and just kept the beatty ones on there and then the mellowy synth ones that are just thrown out as little one-offs in different places. So it's just about context and it's not like I wouldn't have released them, it's just that, as a compilation, it was perhaps a little bit hasty to call it an album, but you know, you live and learn."
