A1. The Black-Rok
Funky basslines and punchy, tight kick drums begin this track and form the rock
solid foundation. Around this, aquatic washed chords eerily supply the tension
and melody. Quick bleeps phase in and out to accentuate sustained chops. All this
culminates to an extra funky, murky deep and dark introduction to Rudiman's world.

A2. ... In Dreams
As if lulled to sleep, this track dives deep into the sea of
subconsciousness and fills the void with a surreal calm.
Muffled deep sub bass kick drums lurk in the depths, crispy
shuffled shakers shimmer on the surface while soft subtle chords
swirl all around. Through all this, lead chords bounce through
and complete this fine excursion into one person's subconscious.

AA1. Sunday's Always There
When the weekend ends and rain begins to fall on life,
that's where this track starts. An almost melancholy chord
sequence makes the heart of this delicate track. Tight, gritty
percussion sounds flash you back to better days while the
structure and emotion prepare you for the grey times ahead.

AA2. The Sweetest Heaven
When love blinds you and fills your life with soul and colour.
Sexy, sultry drum programming and an infectious swirly chord
progression drive this soul cut into unexplored realms. Rudiman
offers us his own vocals to convince
us of his true love. This is a love song for drum machines.

AA3. It's Alright Now
After the storm, the calm feels so much better. Syncopated 808 programming pushes
and pulls you into the flowing chords. Funky noises and lead synths complete this
interlude and first half of the album.
