2CD Digisleeve + booklet, disc 2 features bonus tracks. 1994's ,Sprawl", originally released on Woronzow, features Nick with Jimmy Hastings (flute), Tony Aldridge (violin) and Andy Ward on drums.

Vocals here were provided by Ade Shaw, Dean Carter and Mick Donovan along with Current 93's David Tibet guesting with spoken word on the spiritual ,Right On (hippy dream)".
