Personnel

[edit]

All tracks written by Steven Wilson, except "Untitled" and "Russia on Ice" written by Barbieri, Edwin, Maitland and Wilson.

Although the first track on the limited edition CD is labeled "album version", it differs slightly from that version, as on the album the track segues into the next song "Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled" while on the single it has a clean ending.

Deadwing version

[edit]

The song was re-recorded in the studio by the then-current lineup during the Deadwing album sessions. Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth performed harmony vocals on that version. It was released as a bonus track on the American version of Deadwing.
