The track "Kalimba" (a pop rock song with synthesizers that also contains influences from jazz, electronic and dance pop) was selected by Microsoft as the sample music for Windows 7 to demonstrate the new Windows Media Player.^{[citation needed]}

A compilation of outtakes from the album, entitled Bonus Bait, was released the following year.

In 2009, it was awarded a silver certification (indicating sales of at least 30,000 copies throughout Europe) from the Independent Music Companies Association.^[3]
