Notes

"Stealth" contains voice samples from sample pack "Vengeance Essential Clubsounds Vol.3" created by Manuel Schleis. It also samples the alien transmission from the film Contact.
"J'adore Hardcore" uses French fan Maddy's voice for the eponym lyrics "J'adore Hardcore" and samples Planet Funk's 2001 single "Chase The Sun", from the 2002 album Non Zero Sumness as well as the 2009 songs "Lullaby" by Activator and uses a sample that is heavily inspired by the melody of the track "I Just Can't Stop" by The Pitcher. On 30 July 2009, during the video shoot for the single, H.P. Baxxter was almost a victim of a car bomb attack in Majorca, Spain.^[19]
"Ti sento" is inspired by the song of the same name by Technoboy, which itself samples Matia Bazar's 1985 single "Ti sento". The song by Scooter includes Italian vocals by Antonella Ruggiero, who was the vocal performer in the original version. Playing an opera singer, Ruggiero also appears in the accompanying music video, which premièred on 18 September 2009.^[20] The sound effects at the beginning of the song are from "Music or Noize" by Wildstylez. It also uses the melody from the song "Sonic Sabotage" by Crypsis & Kold Konexion.
"State of Mind" samples the song "Pale" by Within Temptation and uses a sample that is heavily inspired by the melody of the track "Next Dimensional World" by Technoboy.
"Where the Beats..." samples its intro and melody from Technoboy's version of "Ti sento", some parts sampling "Cold Rocking" by Wildstylez & the Prophet, while the melodic female vocals and lyrics are very similar to Celtic Woman's version of the Irish folk song Carrickfergus (song) albeit with altered lyrics.
"Bit A Bad Boy" samples the Krezip song "I Would Stay" and the melody also samples "Rock Civilization" by Headhunterz.
"The Sound Above My Hair" samples the Black Song "Wonderful Life".
"See You Smile" samples the song "Rainbow In The Sky" by DJ Paul Elstak. The melody also samples Rephex & ABW's "Nuclear".
The melody of "Clic Clac" comes from Pinocchio's theme, written by Italian composer Fiorenzo Carpi De Resmini. The track also samples Technoboy's "Put Some Grace (In Your Face)" and Tuneboy's "Re-Generate It".
"Second Skin" is a cover of the same name song by The Chameleons.
"Stuck on Replay" is based on the melody of "DJ Phil Ty - A Kay A (EHM remix)", next to sampling Lionel Richie's "Stuck On You".
"Metropolis" samples Ron Van den Beuken's remix of Randy Katana's "In Silence".
On the back of the Album cover for the DVD version of Under the Radar Over the Top there is a spelling mistake for The Question is What is The Question.
"Marian (Version)" is a cover of the same name song by The Sisters of Mercy.
