Finally each scene is then played back again with finished edited audio track, allowing direct comparison from the materials available, & the end result.

Lyrics: Look at the pattern Can you see what’s wrong? It’s supposed to? be perfect (But really it’s not) But really it’s not. Can you find the flaws Hidden in structured code Hiding in the pattern In between the rows? Only illogics can find Hidden flaws in a straight logic line. Only erratics recognize Errors in patterns of a perfect design. Only illogics can? find Hidden flaws in a straight logic line. Only erratics recognize Errors in patterns of a perfect design. Now that you? know That something’s not right Look at it carefully In pale logic light. Don’t be sorry If you can’t recognize The errors and faults In such a perfect disguise. Only illogics can find… This is a very nice psychill track featuring some nice down-tempo sounds, with a bit of dub infused with the female vocals in this track. Definitely a track to check out (8
