The first edition came with an additional 5 song disc of outtakes and alternate mixes spanning the group's career. A single, "Masquerade", was culled from the album in February 1998 to coincide with Mark E. Smith receiving the Godlike Genius award at the NME Awards[1] and reached number 59 in the UK charts. The album is out of print as Artful went bankrupt in the early part of 2000. Levitate received mixed press. Brix Smith had quit the band during their 1996 tour and longtime drummer Simon Wolstencroft left before recording was complete. Julia Nagle's electronics are to the fore throughout and she co-writes 6 of the album's 14 tracks. The album was followed by a shambolic tour, Smith sacking the whole band in Ireland, although they were re-instated within days.[2] It was during the US tour for this album that the group finally fell apart, leaving Smith with only Nagle's support in rebuilding the group for their next album The Marshall Suite.

这是乐队最乱的时期(90年代末)人员离开,财务危机,各种问题期间搞出来的一张本来都不会被出版的专辑(要不是乐队那么多年没断过,积累了大量忠实粉丝),总之整张专辑就是一堆乱七八糟的东西。
