Commentary:

There are reminders of the riff of Stay Away (Old White Train) at various points of the track.

On its debut the song was entitled Remainderer R on the setlist.

Louderthanwar review: “The title track is held together by Keiron Melling’s tribal drumming, led by Peter Greenway’s droning guitar work, but let down by some dodgy backing vocals.” http://louderthanwar.com/the-fall-the-remainderer-ep-ep-review/ [These backing vocals, present on promo copies of the record, were dropped for the official CD release,which is about 26 seconds shorter then the promo. However. the vinyl version is the same as the promo one.]
