[edit] Song notes

  • A hidden track follows "Amy's in the Attic", in which there is a game to figure out the phone number to call to hear the name of the group's third studio album (Riddle Box).
  • The beat used for "Skitsofrantic" was originally used for a Shaggy 2 Dope song titled "If You Can't Beat 'Em Join 'Em", but it was scrapped. "If You Can't Beat 'Em Join 'Em" was later released on the group's 2005 compilation Forgotten Freshness Volume 4.
  • "The Dead Body Man" features the EP's intro , opposite to the news bulletin that's on Riddle Box version of the same song. The version on The Terror Wheel is also in a slightly lower key but is the same recording.
  • "The Dead Body Man" received much local radio play in Detroit following the release of The Terror Wheel.
  • The story presented in "Amy's in the Attic" was later continued by Jumpsteady, in a song titled "Amy's Ghost" from his 2005 album Master of the Flying Guillotine.
  • "The Smog" was a re-written song that was originally called "The Swarm". This Song had the same beat with altered lyrics, and was originally intended for a horror movie of the same name. Unfortunately this movie was later scrapped.[1]
