Substance also collects songs originally released on EPs, such as the band’s debut release An Ideal for Living, and the two samplers issued by Factory Records, A Factory Sample and Earcom 2: Contradiction. The single “Atmosphere” had been originally issued in France as Licht und Blindheit with “Dead Souls” as the B-side.
