Comment:
This was Sator Codex' first and only album.
Björn Clarin left the band shortly after the recordings and was
not in the band when it was released.
"Leech" and an earlier recording of "Howling"
had been released as singles.
"Leech" can also be found on the "In Gold We Trust" compilation.
"Master of the Universe" is a Hawkwind cover.
"Inflammable Hymn" was recorded during this session but never completed.
An earlier recording had previously been released on the Bai-Bang cassette
compilation.
"Reality" was covered and sort of translated into Swedish by Coca Carola
on the "Guldskivan -Svenska band hyllar Sator & Sator Codex" tribute
album. Their version is called "Verklighet".
