The four songs were part of the 10-track demo Howlett sent to XL Recordings
when he was attempting to obtain a record deal. Before "What Evil Lurks" had released, "Android" got an early release in November 1990 and it was released on the expanded version of Experience. The original version of "Everybody in the Place
" is featured on the record and is different from the eventual Fairground Version on the single with the same name.
