The vinyl and online music store versions of the album differ from the CD in retail stores.

Likewise, "Set the Mood (Prelude)" is indexed with "Summer Love" on the CD version, while it is indexed with "Until the End of Time" on vinyl and online versions; "Summer Love" then becomes 4:13 while "Set the Mood (Prelude)/Until the End Of Time" is 7:33.
The track "FutureSex/LoveSound" has a heavy background beat which sounds remarkably like Queen's Another One Bites The Dust.
The track "Until the End of Time" features a sample from the Prince song "The Beautiful Ones."
