In actuality, Exogenesis Part 4 was some modern classical music with a bad cover of Radiohead's "Creep" overlayed, in reference to the clichéd comparison between the two bans. Feeling Good was a poor live versiion of MK ULTRA (which gets off to a false start and in which Dom's click track could be heard), and the 'remix' of Guiding Light was a version that had been sped up and and otherwise altered by board administrator Kev and moderator Olly.
To support the 'single', Olly made a fake CD single and fake promo single, whilst moderator [[۞|Niall] made a fake studio master CD apparently featuring various takes of the song.
