The cover of the album is somewhat of a mystery, even to members of the band. According to Flatlander, "That’s a photograph that one of our members carried in their wallet for roughly 10 years straight. It’s a power object." This suggests that the image had no personal meaning to any of the members of the band, but was rather an artifact that ended up being an image that they defined themselves by to some degree. There has been speculations by fans of the band that the man on the cover of the album is an aboriginal Australian man and that the photograph could have originated from a National Geographic article, though this is widely based on speculation.
The album was later released exclusively through the band's website in vinyl and cassette format. It was also removed from iTunes. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
