This was the fifth and final album in the Mune Mud 10th Anniversary Collection. It was a digital re-release of the 1997 Sleep State F album.

The first nineteen tracks are the same as the original 1997 album, just digitally remixed. Tracks 20-24 are previously unreleased bonus tracks. They were unused tracks from the Sleep State F recording sessions.

Tracks 20-22 were not used on the original because they were not finished. The versions included here are the unfinished versions, preserved exactly where Jason left off with them. And tracks 23 and 24 come from a short four-song session that Jason recorded while house-sitting some one's house in August of 1997. The other two songs of the four recorded at the house were "Overfed" and "Contact", both of which appeared on the original Sleep State F album. "One Second" also appeared as the b-side to the "Reflection" single in November of 1997.

Unfortunately, as with the previous two albums in this collection (Pryme Material 10th and Equation of Time 10th), this album was never totally finished. The tracks were compiled but the CD's were never burned. And in this case, none of the labels or covers were even designed or printed. It does retain the 2007 release date though. The Studio is working to hopefully complete the album soon.
