The CD version of the album features a hidden track in the pregap of the first song. This technique was later used frequentlyâon Geräusch, Jazz ist anders, Farin Urlaub's Am Ende der Sonne, and Bela B.'s Bingo. On vinyl versions of Jazz ist anders and Am Ende der Sonne though, the hidden tracks are not lost, but put after the last track.
The album features many film and TV samples. Samples are used on tracks 1, 4, 5,[5] 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, and on the hidden track.
