Phenomena is a little like The Missing Guest, on the other hand it is a lot more clean in the sound and much more spacious. The beat carries a lot more bounce as well. The atmosphere is once more zeroed in on the dark nighttime setting and gives you something really great to listen to. Marcus (The Delta) co-produced the track so maybe that's why it seem to have the subtle yet epic feeling.

 

Stalker is yet again a grinding track with layers of tweaked effects and a fast paced rolling bassline. Actually quite a good track with it's persitent one tone ambient layer that sometimes is lowered or elevated in pitch.

 

Jewels is a hard hitting boom boom track with an emphatic hi-hat, loads of effect loops and a few bleep bleeps just to have all the ingredients for a mechanical stomp-stomp session. Very energetic to say the least, maybe not all too fun to listen to... probably works better on the dancefloor. This track never featured on the Passages album, instead it was released on the Clangour CD along with Model 1 from Passage Three 12".

 

Stars... obviously the same as Starz *** from Passages album, is IMO not at all good. Laidback atmosphere accompanied by an annoying voicesample repeating "stars stars stars shine bright". This one really goes nowhere... boring is very descriptive a term. That Marcus co-produced this track didn't seem to help.
