Although nominally outtakes, several of the tracks which appear are as strong as those on Jewels for Sophia, and include a formal recording of "1974", previously only available as a live track.
"I Saw Nick Drake" has garnered the most attention, being a plaintive ballad about English guitar legend Nick Drake, whilst "Nietzsche's Way" references the group Spirit, and their classic "Nature's Way". "Antwoman" references the Bob Marley song "Punky Reggae Party".
