| 1 | Tech Jarre | 6:10 | The Jarre in the title is obviously one of my first musical idols, Jean-Michel Jarre. Now don't get the impression from that that I put myself anywhere near the guy - this is purely my way of thanking him for all his great music. |
| 2 | Only so many heartbeats | 4:24 | There's a line in fatalistic philosophy that goes something like this: "Each one of us is allocated only so many heartbeats. Nothing we can do will increase this." This is why I don't bother going jogging. |
| 3 | Waklectic one | 4:02 | Another of my musical idols is Rick Wakeman. He's a brilliant musician as well as an inspirational composer. Again, I wouldn't dare suggest any comparison here, this is merely my way of acknowledging his brilliance. |
| 4 | The Dinner Plain run | 3:16 | I enjoy classical music, I enjoy symphonic music, and I love great movie soundtracks - like James Newton Howard's "King Kong" soundtrack, or anything by John Williams. This is my feeble attempt at something symphonic inspired by 'Man from Snowy River'. |
| 5 | Bluetrack | 2:44 | The first track I wrote with Apple Logic Pro, and so the first track I wrote for this album. Just a light bit of fluff, really. I wrote it thinking of a TV series I was developing at the time, so this is kind of my mental theme for that show. |
| 6 | Batu Khan | 5:22 | Batu Khan was the grandson of Ghengis Khan, and the first leader of the infamous 'Golden Horde' - masters of western asia and parts of eastern europe. This is my attempt at a musical biography. |
| 7 | Retro blue | 2:46 | Another bit of fluff. When I played it for someone they suggested it sounded a bit '80's - hence the 'retro' reference. |
| 8 | Arcadia Suite | 5:08 | This is me trying to be symphonic. Really a small number of similar musical themes tacked together, so I called it a 'suite'. |
| 9 | Ambia | 5:23 | I enjoy a lot of electronic ambient music, so I wanted to try my hand at it. For real good stuff, check out Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and several others. |
| 10 | Trip heavy | 5:45 | Me being trippy! Lots of drums and percussion (always a favourite of mine). I was really happy with the way the two musical themes came together at the end. I good upbeat track to finish on. |
