• The flute throughout "The Trembler" is actually a sample from the Jethro Tull song "My God".
• The bizarre sounding chants occurring a little after the halfway mark of "Aclectasis" is a sample of the soundtrack for "One Step Beyond", which was covered by the band Fantômas on their album The Director's Cut. Fantômas's vocalist, Mike Patton, is one of the two founders of Ipecac Recordings. Both The Director's Cut and Ectopia were released on this label.
