1. Sprouting (1.45)- fantastical blizzard, sweet hallucination with wooshing sounds whirling in your ears; spatial and immense; effects slowly fades out into the next song; not the perfect song for airplay.
2. Cradle (5.08)- Delicacy sprinkled; embraced by fur; soft and soothing; late night driving on the highway; minimal effects; thin layer but with emotions.
3. Sylia (Pt. 1) (15.40)- spellbinding; haunting beauty; dim sparkles; sea’s rhythmic and meek breathe; immobile and sluggish.
4. Sylia (Pt. 2) (18.16)- nocturnal, detached; a snowy night walking alone on a suburban street; reserved and vulnerable; a fairy’s surrealistic dream that brings you into the foreign world.
5. Beyond (2.21)- processed effects fades in; more active than previous songs; menacing, a different mood presented; unorthodox; sci-fi setting; a space tragedy - Moon; slight mix of longing and yearning feeling around 1:46 and perishes.
