Around the time this album was released, the Studio was experimenting with the shorter EP albums. Instead of a full-length tape, these used cut-down tapes that lasted only 15-20 minutes per side. After the success of NueroMorgue's Devis Tortura album from the previous year, it was decided to release a NueroMorgue EP. The EP contained new tracks, demos, and alternate versions of Devis Tortura tracks.
* Notice the name E. Phantasmata is a play on words that uses the letters E and P to begin each word (since this was an "EP" album).
The outside of the album cover was a section taken from the Jason Watson drawing "Primordial Water and Lotus."
The inside of the album cover listed the seven tracks. It also stated that "NueroMorgue is Gargoyle". The cover art drawing was also credited to Gargoyle.
This album was released when the Studio was still known as Circle IX Studio.
This EP may eventually find its way to CD. It has been considered to be part of a 2-disc NueroMorgue retrospective cataloging the two NueroMorgue albums along with unused tracks, demos, and alternate versions of songs.
