- File:s44 03.ogg A song with entirely English lyrics, "FRICTION" was written for the Electronic Arts video game Burnout Dominator. The song was recorded in Tokyo out of necessity with the band's mainstay Canadian drummer Shane Gaalaas being credited with advising the English lyrics. While this original version was first found here, an updated rendition with re-recorded vocals and an altered arrangement can be found on ACTION under the title of "FRICTION -LAP 2-".
