"Partymucke" was originally written for Peter Zadek's play Andi.

The Maifestspiele section of "Fiat Lux" contains field recordings from a demonstration in Kreuzberg, Berlin on 1 May 1987.

"Ein Stuhl in der Hölle" and the "Hirnlego" section of "Fiat Lux" were later included on the 1991 compilation Strategies Against Architecture II.[6]

Notes

The cover art is based on a woodcut titled "Group of Six Horses" by German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien.
