They say that second album is the hardest to create, ... well only Sebastian know how hard it was to create his second. He use as for the first "Relapse" well known program Fasttracker. 
After "Intro" which sounds  oriental or arabic with that flute, starts second song "Supresion" with very dark background ambient melody but mixed with nice strings and sub rhythms . "Towards Independence" is the best tune here (with "Drum 'n' Bass ... the way of life" maybe), but this song is so unique so mellow on some kind of break beat tip with superb floating melody. "Migration" starts with sample from some movie (?) but than kicks the nice rhythms. "Oh Yeah" is in techno style plus a little acidous melodies, but "Absolute Zero (Pure)" is deep in pure acid. "Simple Feelings" is very nice song in Drum'n'Bass style - so powerful, so full of energy. "Devilish Forces" is on the same kind of tip like previous  but with melody slightly different and more sensitive. Than starts real Hardcore at 200 bpm - "Emotional Decision". "Boiling Point" is still with fast and hard rhythms and with sample "We Must ...", I herd it somewhere (can't remember where). After that kicks the nine minutes long song "Drum'n'Bass ... A Way Of Life" in, you guess, D'n'B style with tremendous bass in background and even more nicer rhythms - well done SR. "Absolute Zero" is next, a mix of the same song at number 6. "Fearsome" just ordinary song with the taste of acid. But than nice ambiental start of "The Science Of Love" and not so nice mixing rhythm to that. "Fresh" is next with that melody sounds which remind me on some work of Technotronic, well only part of it, the  other mechanical sounds are quite nice. And at the end, 16 th track is "Walkover" one of the slowest tune here with funky guitar strings in it, I must say song not my type but with nice potentials.
