notes

Promo-CD sent out by Pelagic Records in a clear PVC-sleeve with both CDs, two booklets and a promo-sheet with original cover artwork, release dates, tracklist and barcode on the back.

Sticker says,"Comes in a lavish deluxe digipak format with the lull-length CD "Proterozoic" and the mini-CD "Hadean/Archaean". The album concept follows the classification of geologic ages during the "Precambrian" period. Every song that is not an instrumental has two titles: a primary one that refers to a geologic age and a secondary one that is derived from the lyrics.

Disc 2 contains a data track with band pictures and biographical information.

Artwork adapted from the digipak version; same booklets but without the digipak with diecut holes. And the second CD is not black, but silver.
