Remixes 1–5 were created by Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly. The EP was remastered and re-released on October 5, 2004, in a digipak, packaged together with the remastered Soul of a New Machine without "Self Immolation". The title of the record is a quote from "Litany against fear", a fictional incantation from Dune, the science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert.When playing live in the 1990s, the band would occasionally play a variation of the Deep Dub Trauma remix of "Scumgrief", rather than the original. The song is also on the soundtrack of the film Hideaway.
