A recording of an office setting, most prominently featuring the sounds of typing on a computer keyboard, forms a recurring motif in the album; it both opens ("Glue of the World") and closes ("Hilarious Movie of the 90's") the album, and is also present in "Harmony One".
Three tracks from Pause were later released in remixed form on Four Tet's Paws EP.
The acoustic guitar track "Everything Is Alright" is used as the theme music for the National Public Radio programme On Point.
The opening track "Glue of the World" is used in the background of the Six Feet Under episode "Someone Else's Eyes" (Season 2, Episode 9). This same track is used in the House, M.D. episode "Last Resort". It is played over the top of various scenes from the hospital as the hostages are being released and/or detained.
The second track, “Twenty Three,” contains a sample of Steven Halpern’s “Keynote E: Yellow,” and the third track, “Harmony One,” contains a sample of “Keynote F: Green.” Both are sampled from Halpern’s 1975 album Christening for Listening: A Soundtrack for Every Body.
The fourth track entitled "Parks" contains a sample of "After the Snow, The Fragrance" and "Sanzen (Moment of Truth)" both from the album Music for Zen Meditation by jazz clarinetist Tony Scott.
