- "The Birdwatcher" is based on the melody of "The Second Waltz" ("Russian Waltz") by Dmitri Shostakovich and samples main melody from the track "Airport" by Photographer.
- "Torch" is Scooter's version of the 1982's eponymous song by Soft Cell.
- Czech/Slovak and Australian releases of the album by Universal Music and Central Station Records have special design with the titles "Scooter" and "Ace" written in pink letters on both Digipak and booklet.
