The song entails the constant tarnishing of Earth by humans, featuring Johann Frank in a lap steel guitar and classic DNA blues. Inspired by Peter Gabriel’s World Beat genre, the middle track “Some Kind of Way”, was written in collaboration with guitar player friend Johann Frank. Drums were recorded by British drummer Steve Holley (Wings, Paul McCartney) at ShoreFire Recordings by engineer Joe DiMaggio. “Juan has been an incredible influence in this album, his sound textures and perspective in production, mixing and mastering truly enhanced the message and voice of each track,” expresses MerlinMoon.

Merlin features his good friend PJ Olsson, lead singer of Alan Parsons' Band, who responsibly extends the song's lyrics with an airy voice that resuscitates and empowers the existence of Richard Wright. The synthesizer solo in the bridge was played by Juan C. Showcasing a direct influence of David Gilmour's electric guitar bends and acoustic guitar arpeggios, complementing the laid back feel of Nick Mason’s beat. “It’s the first song, the song that changed everything, none of the past versions felt right until now,” says MerlinMoon. The succeeding track “Yesterday is Gone” was written more than a decade ago, and MerlinMoon declined to officially release it until now.

Cyborg Features Shawn Anthony, the platinum selling songwriter/artists, who has been featured many times in HBO series such as 'Entourage' and 'Ballers.' The opening title “Cyborg” mixes Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” bouncing bass and guitar delays with Massive Attack’s mood and granular sounds, the aftermath is an unorthodox British blend turning into a classic MerlinMoon experimental track. It's the first song, the song that changed everything, none of the past versions felt right until now.

Merlinmoon's crystalline British influences splashes through the sound of three decades, starting with Pink Floyd in the seventies, Peter Gabriel in the eighties and Bristol Urban Underground Sound, which emerged in the early 90s with bands such as Massive Attack & Tricky. After two independent releases in 2017, full-length album 'Iconography' (October 2017) and 'Lithography EP' (May 2017), and 16 million YouTube views with approximately 38.4 million minutes watched, MerlinMoon releases 'Lithography 2 EP.' While working on a full-length album with reggae artist/producer Alborosie, set to be released early 2019, he keeps us busy with a 5 song EP, exploring different genres without compromise, melting bites of Trip Hop, Acid Jazz, Neo Psychedelia and World Beat in a sensitive yet rough soundscape.
