Facts

  • The song "Ya Soshla S Uma" was misspelled on the back cover. It was listed as "Ya Soshia S Uma". While "Nas Ne Dogonyat" was spelled as "Nas Ne Dagoniat", although it is a valid translation.
  • The versions of "Nas Ne Dogonyat" and "Ya Soshla S Uma" that were included on the album are the 2002 edits, not the ones included on 200 Po Vstrechnoy.
  • The album was not set to include "Novaya Model'", instead it was set to include its English counterpart, "Perfect Enemy". Neither of them were released as singles.
  • The album claims to have 3 unreleased songs, although only "Null and Void" was unreleased. The other two were a remix and the previously released "Divine".
  • On the back cover "Divine" is listed as an extended remix, but it's the exact same version that was previously released.
  • On the back cover of the "Deluxe Edition" the music videos for "Friend or Foe" and the TV version of "All About Us" are not included.
  • The album was set to include the song "Prostie Dvizhenia", but for unknown reasons it was taken out.
