The disc is a multimedia CD that includes three songs, "Camouflage," "I Wanna Be A Boss," and "The Roadblock," in the now-defunct Liquid Audio format, which were recorded live at the Strand in Los Angeles on November 2, 1991.

The Hartford Courant wrote that the album "seems like a collection of creepy musical stories and eerie instrumentals ... there are often revelations buried under [Ridgway's] haunting musical stories that surface with a jolt days after the disc is done playing.

"[6] The Sun Sentinel called Anatomy one of 1999's best albums, writing that Ridgway "tours the invisible world of loners and losers for this twilight sermon on the decline of, well, everything.

"[7] MTV wrote that Ridgway's "moody pieces ... continue to reflect his beginnings as a movie score composer.

"[9] All tracks composed by Stan Ridgway except "Sixteen Tons" by Merle Travis.
