The name is a reference to year of three events which shaped the band - the births of two members of the band, the year was released, and the year the first punk albums were released, though it has been suspected that the Star Wars reference is the most important; the album opens with the sound of an X-Wing, the title "Darkside Lightside" is a Star Wars reference, and the band have covered "Cantina Band", on the "Girl From Mars" b-side.
The song "Kung Fu" mentions Jackie Chan in the lyrics. In reciprocation, Chan has used the song for the end credits of his movie Rumble in the Bronx.
The first 50,000 pressings of the CD begin with "Don't Know" and the original version of " Jack Names the Planets " ( February 1994 ). There is also a hidden track named "Sick Party" which appears after "Darkside Lightside" on all versions.
