notes: 'Print run of 100 copies.

  xoc has participated in other Concatenation compilations, but this is his first
  solo release for the label (and for Good-Evil Records), and it''s quite the endeavor.  xoc
  has spent the last three and a half years working on a medley that consists of 100
  short themes from video games which spans 18 minutes and 22 seconds.

  Since the length is under 24 minutes, xoc decided to have this release printed up
  on 3" CDs.
