This was first released as a promo with DGC before the band got dropped. The first promos have slightly different track order and track names.
Note that the promos have an earlier recording of These Times (2:39). The later releases on Zero Hour has a new recording (3:20), although the track time is often wrong on the artworks.
Also note that there has been some confusion surrounding the song Electric 77, since the words "Stellar Caprice" are sung in the lyrics. Based on 99th Dream (US 1997) (opens in a new tab), fans had a theory that track 5 was originally called "Electric77 / Stellar Caprice" (as two parts of the same song ), while the instrumental track 6 had the working title “Camdenscenedubbedshoegazer”.
However, when the album was released commercially, track 5 was just Electric 77 and track 6 was Stellar Caprice. This track naming stuck, and the names are now considered official, as confirmed by the lyrics on the Bandcamp page.
