Crystal Mass has a tracking error: tracks 4 and 5 ("Hopeful" and "Her Majesty's Trusted Food Taster") are indexed as a single 10:23 track. In addition, the track listing on the album mistakenly titles track 6 as "Her Majesty's Trusted Food Taster" when in fact it is "Castaway".
"To Mourn the Death of Colour" is used as a lyric in the Legendary Pink Dots song "Cheraderama".
