Personnel

• Ola Svensson - Vocals
• Lars Ljungberg - Bass guitar
• Mikael Jepson - Guitar
• Martin Rosengardten - Drums

Additional musicians:

• Mats Andersson - Violin
• Erik Persson - Violin
• Tanja Nielsen - Cello
• Britta Svedskog - Bassoon
• Krister Miller - Clarinet

It is also possible that Salo/Svensson played guitar for the EP due to him playing guitar at then-contemporary gigs (sometimes keyboards) but since there is no personnel list for this release (only for additional musicians) the contributions are merely speculation based on blogs made by the Ark themselves.
