M.O.P. & Kool G Rap - Stick To Ya Gunz
Steve Buscemi kicks things off as he reprises his role from the movie "Desparado". Mysterio concocted this uptempo track filled with rumbling bass, soft keys, and a crunchy clavinet over a bouncy and highly diverted drum track.
Kool G Rap, Lil Fame and Billy Danze stepped up and sprayed rapid fire verses which are accentuated by heavy power ammunition Sound FX to keep in tune with the song about the glory of gunshots.
Rock & Rolla
Mysterio had an idea for some James Bond/Jason Bourne type of spy movie music. The final song took a turn once he watched the movie Rocknrolla. Samples from the film were added over the orchestral sounds created from deep within the recesses of his mind. A glockenspiel, flute, bass, percussion, piano and deep bass flow together seamlessly in a symphony of sounds.

MF Doom & Ghostface - Ladies (T.J. Mackey Remix)
Over thirty different tracks make up this magical Mysterio remix with the help of Ghostface and MF Doom. The song is introduced by Frank T.J. Mackey to lay the groundwork for the two emcess to wax poetic about their own personal troubles with women.
Samples from Sugarloaf, Ramsey Lewis, Captain Beyond, Bobbi Humphrey, Savoy Brown and the television show "The Streets of San Francisco" blend well with Mysterio's cuts and drum programming. To round things off Woody Harrelson drops some knowledge from the film "Kingpin".

Evolution
Influenced by music found in Asian cinema, and Asian inspired films, Mysterio decided to take a crack at the genre. What resulted was a meticulous mixture of musical sounds which he then layered dialogue over from a few choice movies: "Ghost Dog" and "Fist of Legend".
Blue Heat
Mysterio built up a movie type backing track with loose drums, eerie organs, blues bass and guitars. Afterwards he layered some vocal dialogue from one of his favorite movies "Heat" to finish it off.
"I saw Heat three times in the the theatre. At about three hours each time - a total of nine but I enjoyed it immensely. Probably seen it over a dozen times since then on DVD" - Mysterio

The Way of the Gun In No Country for Old Watchmen
Inspired by crime noir mixed with westerns Mysterio came up with this melodic, musical movie track. Dialogue from the films "The Way of the Gun", "No Country for Old Men" and "The Watchmen" fill the soundscape which drips of intensity.
Digital organs and pads blend with the sounds of the Hammond and muted electric bass while metallic reeds and varying percussion bounce back and forth.

The Bride Dreams of Revenge
A musical nod to Spaghetti Westerns influenced Mysterio to lay over some quotes from the movie "Kill Bill". A Dobro Guitar, Fiddle and Native American flute accentuate the straight laced drum stylings of Mysterio. While an "old timey" piano circulates throughout the musical landscape where they Bride dreams of her revenge.
CERN
Mysterio pondered if CERN is really capable of opening gates to other dimensions. Is it possible? Some say yes some say no - who the hell knows! Anyhow if it were the case where a black hole could not be contained then it would be too late for us to do anything about it. So is the ways of the world sometimes.
Jim Morrison and Les Nubians make an appearance on this mind bending song. Classify it as trance, dance, ambient, whatever... Mysterio is not into throwing labels on his productions, in this particular category, so instead he likes to let the music speak for itself.
Rains From Dusk Till Dawn
A little ode to Mysterio's love for movie quotes and movie music. "From Dusk Till Dawn" samples set the tone as a mix of electric and analog instrumentation fill the atmosphere. Simple yet eerily effective.

Count Bass D - On The Reels (Jazz Reflections Remix)
Mysterio crafted together this jazz tinged remix to the Count Bass D song "On The Reels". The original is a bit more fierce and menacing but this version allows Count to spit his rhymes in comfort of warm jazz surroundings. Cuts remain intact by the Count while a sample from "No Country For Old Men" introduces the piece.

MF Doom - Change The Beat (Mellow Mix)
Mysterio dismantled the robots and smoothed out the track for Doom to lay back in the cut on. The premise is the same as in the original but this one just makes you say "Hmmmmm...".
