The track "Grateful When You're Dead/Jerry Was There" is a homage to Jerry Garcia and his band The Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead's psychedelia rock style is an obvious influence on Kula Shaker's first and second albums. The hidden track after "Hollow Man" is a recording of an Indian holy man named A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada speaking about his own guru.
