About the release

Its release sheet dates Mystique, Scream, Touch the Lights, Hyperdrive, Sunrise and Liebe to 2002 and Euphoria, Perfecto and Progression to 2003; in between, the burglary took the band out of business for about four and a half months. Liebe, made with Dynamo, is credited on the CD to Brats United.1,2,3

The band's pages give no single date for the MP3.com CD. In mid-June 2003 its website counted 15 MISSION 2002 releases and listed Vol.1, not Vol.2, among its latest CD releases. The press kit of November 2003 dates Vol.2 24 September 2003, the day the band posted the release sheet, with a price of $11.99, in its new forum; the music page of June 2004 gave only the year 2002, and from July 2004 the discography gave 30 May 2003.4,5,1,6,7

MP3.com stopped selling CDs on 17 November 2003. The band reissued the album through Ampcast on 30 April 2004 at $12, and on 19 December 2006 through Cafepress, when Alexander wrote that all the band's CDs would in time be reissued in two formats, with a jewel case and booklet or in a paper sleeve. The digitally remastered edition followed in April 2012.8,9,10,11,12

In their words

“This is the second album in our M2002 series, an album that truly show our capabilities & diversity.”
