Discussion

"Wrong Eye" is described by Coil as being a "rough sketch" of the track "Windowpane" (from Love's Secret Domain).
Coil has also stated that speculation about "Scope" being an early version of "Her Friends The Wolves" (from Stolen and Contaminated Songs) is false, and that the track was actually a "studio jam" fueled by "experimenting with MDMA".
