Original Release

Originally released in a 1000 copies only pressing on Endemik records, the pressing consisted of one approximately 30 something minute track. This track was made up of numerous individual songs that mixed together akin to Buck 65's earlier album styles. Apparently the pressing was meant to have additional track markers but it came out on one large track by mistake. The whole recording was composed and completed over one weekend before Buck went on tour, though the lyrics may have been written over a period of time.

Warner Re-Release

When Buck 65 released Square, his first album on the Warner label, his entire back catalogue of albums back to Weirdo Magnet were also re-released by Warner distribution. Synesthesia was the only album that contained significant changes to the original release. Most songs were re-recorded, some were dropped, new songs were added and new music was put under some of the original lyrics. Though some songs like The Centaur Drum and Bass remix remained, many of the wholesale changes made to this album altered the original outcome of the Endemik pressing.
