• An instrumental, save for a few hollerings of the title, this album closer is titled after Russian poet, playwright and actor Vladimir Mayakovsky.
  
  Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893 – 1930) is recognized as among the foremost proponents of early-20th century Russian Futurism. An RSDLP (Bolshevik) member, Mayakovsky was considered to be the poet laureate of the Russian Revolution, but became increasingly disillusioned with the course the Soviet Union was taking under Joseph Stalin's terror. Mayakovsky shot himself on the evening of April 14, 1930.
• The band described this as a, "cyber spaghetti western that transforms into Robert Fripp madness - inspired by the words and angles of the man - the sound of internal saturation."
• Fun fact: Billy Bragg's 1986 album Talking with the Taxman about Poetry was named after Mayakovsky's poem of the same title, which appeared as part of the liner notes.
