    Track Listing:

  1. Dominus Jesus
    originally recorded for noise hymns compilation. short wave radio and a recorded chant.

  2. lava
    sample-based composition. a brief introduction to component.

  3. stereo
    sample manipulation and short wave noise.

  4. promised land...
    a random sample from a mini-cassette of lecture notes.

  5. furnace (a well-oiled machine)
    another piece, built from the same lecture as above (another random sample).

  6. isolationist dream sequence
    a random-sample piece created from an old halloween sounds tape.

  7. empath 1: static
    the first anaphylaxis recording. four tracks of short wave experimentation (also includes vocal sample).

  8. clockwork forest
    another sample-based composition. sample taken from same halloween tape.

  9. shock
    short wave and sample manipulation.

  10. cavernous
    another piece featuring sample manipulation with short wave backing sounds. the sample was created from the
    sound of breathing.

  11. channel 13 (final dub)
    another iteration of the original "channel 13" track. this is not the version on the original component cassette; it is

    final version.

    a companion piece to the "channel" series.

  13. magical realism
    a companion piece to "empath 1: static." recorded during the same session.

in late 2000, a DAM cd edition of component was released through mp3.com. Due to supposed copyright issues and the time restraints of the DAM format, the track listing of this release was as follows:

  1. Dominus Jesus
  2. stereo
  3. "insects..."
  4. furnace (a well-oiled machine)
  5. isolationist dream sequence
  6. empath 1: static
  7. clockwork forest
  8. shock
  9. cavernous
  10. elnora/years from now
  11. slither*
  12. angelic

*: this is a remixed, simulated stereo version of a track from the out-of-print digital cassette.

this release also had different artwork due to problems with mp3.com's system.

component was later reissued on cd.
