MUSIC TRACKS:

"Crush" - Hard-hitting rock guitar riff composed in 360-degree quadraphonic sound! Introduction features a breathtaking 24-guitar orchestral arrangement in full surround production!

"Battle of Hoth" - Quirky, enigmatic two-part composition, inspired by the artist’s favorite Sci-Fi film of the 80’s. The first movement, “Imperial Scout" begins as a surround soundscape which sets you in the middle of a harsh blizzard, where you’re being hunted down by an alien intruder! The second movement, “Walkers on the Ground!,” features sub-sonic kick drum hits emulating the footsteps of an approaching mechanical giant. Better pick those drinks off the coffee table!

"Lighter Shade of Pink" - Laid-back, Pink Floyd-inspired composition featuring bluesy, overdriven guitar playing laden with lush reverb and delay effects designed to fully envelop the listener. The closing solo section puts the listener in between two lead melodies panned to opposite ends of the room, presenting the effect of two guitarists communicating to each other on distance hilltops!

Other titles include; "Rain" "Stomp", "Coming Home (Outro)", as well as multiple bonus tracks whose music is specifically designed to exploit the extra speaker channels of your home theater audio system!
