@@genapotehin 2:20 Rex Duodecim Angelus in the harpsichord, along with English in the piano. Goes on for a while. 3:03 Transition riff. 3:27 Variations on the English theme. 3:45 Background high synth is reminiscent of the ending of the first section of Cascade. Goes on for a while with lots of riffing. 4:03 The melody is the same as the guitar solo of the ending of Section 1 of Cascade, as well as the solo from Time on my Side, which are both very similar. (Thanks /u/LambdaUpsilon) 4:13 (!!!) Variation on Penumbra Phantasm, an original piece by Toby, used at the end of [S] Descend. and [S] Caliborn: Enter. 4:26 Crystalanthemums, notably used in [S] Make her pay. 5:39 A familiar sounding backing track picks up, which is quickly revealed to be... 5:48 Crustacean, probably better known as Karkat's Theme, from [S] Past Karkat: Wake up. 7:23 Black, from [S] Jack: Ascend.
