Background and production
Exit Planet Dust was recorded in the space of a few months at Ornico Studios, and Tom recalls "staying up for three weeks making it".

Content
Of the eleven tracks on the album, four had been previously released/recorded. Song To The Siren, Chemical Beats , and One Too Many Mornings were all previously released during the Dust era, and Leave Home was released as a single ahead of the album.

Song To The Siren was recorded live (without crowd noise) at the Sabresonic nightclub in March 1994, one of their rare pre-Exit Planet Dust shows. It's shorter and structured differently than the original single mix.

Vinyl edition
The vinyl copy is unique in that it rearranges the tracklisting of the last half of the album, preserving most of the record's segues. It breaks the transition between In Dust We Trust and Song To The Siren, however the cut isn't drastic and neither song has a significantly longer intro or outro.
