*"Old Funk" and "Space Funk" are both downloadable at 311's official website. (" Music critics, music critics," "from these grassroots we can breathe anywhere," "renegade sound system, 311, "You're a transistor") * Until the release of From Chaos, "Transistor" had the acclaim of having mentioned the name of every 311 album in its lyrics. The track is now known as the "Transistor Intro". When performed correctly, you will hear the studio version of an instrumental commonly used as an opener to 311's live concerts during this era.
