Jay: "The songs themselves were becoming more intricate, because Greg and Brett were both phenomenal songwriters (... Read more
Recording	Generator was recorded in ten days<ref>http://www.thebrpage.net/media/item.asp?itemID=293 Zillo #6 (1992)</ref> in May 1991.

Demos & unreleased songs	For both Brett's and Greg's songs several demos exist, of which one didn't make it onto the album: Brett's songs (which were also used for a 7" bootleg called "Generator Demos"): Generator Atomic Garden Greg's songs: Inner Dream (unreleased) Chimaera ... Read more
Trivia	On the back sleeve of the CD, track #5 is written as "Two Babies In The Dark". However, on the print on the LP it's just "Babies In The Dark".
Re-release	Generator was re-released on 4/6/2004. This digitally remastered version contains two bonus tracks, "Fertile Crescent" and "Heaven Is Falling", which originally appeared on the split 7" New World Order: War #1 with Noam Chomsky, released in 1991.
Reception	One week after the release, Generator reached #49 on the German charts.<ref>http://www.thebrpage.net/media/item.asp?itemID=470 Spex #6 (1992)</ref><ref>http://www.thebrpage.net/media/item.asp?itemID=286 Iron Pages #18 (1992)</ref>
