"Stay With Me" is in the familiar ICE acoustik minimal style, with a downtempo eire soundscape and strange stereo effects. Information has taken the rhytms from "Emotional Consequences" from the "ICE Acoustik" album ( BS025) and re-created it completely, into a strange but beautiful groovy journey.[one] [ two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [top] |

"Fish and Concrete" is a pulsating strange electronica track in the familiar Information soundscapes. On the b-side, Sternklang takes "I.F.F." from the "Artifacts" album ( BS011) into a pounding percussive rhythm monster.[ one] [two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [top] |

"Afterglow" is a laidback funky track, possibly the strongest track on the Arctic Circles 2 compilation. Teebee & K has given "Neolounge", the title track from Sternklang's latest album ( BS023), a cool electro treatment.[ one] [two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [top] |

"Jazztronauts" is a jazzy and smooth drum'n'bass track, the most uptempo track on the Arctic Circle 2 compilation. Aedena Cycle has turned "Mindshadows" from the "Black Science" album ( BS021)into a more gentle electronica track.[ one] [two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [top] |

"Cargo Cult" is not from the album "Cargo Cult", but exclusive to the "Arctic Circle 2" compilation. It's a odd funky track, driven by a catchy guitar sample, but with the usual Aedena Cycle trickery. "The Glipp" from the "Cargo Cult" album ( BS024) is played again by Motion Control, transformed into a catchy housey thing.[ one] [two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [top] |

"Strawberries" is a laidback, but still funky house track, the first taster of the new Motion Control style. The B-side is Mind over MIDI's minimal apporach to the "Digits 2" track, original taken from the "Digits" album ( BS017).[ one] [two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [top] |
