## Song list

1. **Mixtape Beach** is the first and introductory song, and was originally released on Prowler's soundcloud. This song gives a mood of arriving at a place nobody's seen before until now.
2. **[Arrived]** is the transitioning track between Mixtape Beach and Major Sands. this has a muffled blast of synth before seeping into the next song.
3. **Major Sands** is the second song, having a very upbeat and "pyramid/stair" track layout. The idea of the song is to give an upbeat feeling into the upcoming rest.
4. **[Quick Switch]** is simply the sound of changing a CD
5. **Acid Rivers** is the third song, and is one of the more chill songs in the album. It is designed to have the feeling of happy confusion in a place where all objects break the laws of physics.
6. **[Refresh Yourself]** is the transition into Deforested Structures, and uses a very classic 80's synth, reminiscent of production and presentation videos of the time
7. **Deforested Structures** is the fourth song in the album, and wants to convey a feeling of exploration. This song was based off of old game soundtracks such as Lego Island, and based off of modern vaporwave such as the music used in the ENA series by Joel G.
8. **[One Way Road]** is the transition from Deforested Structures into Pineapple Store, and uses calm synths to set the mood for Pineapple Store.
9. **Pineapple Store** is the 5th song in the album, having a more hip-hop beat than the other songs before. the name is a direct reference to the iconic Prowler Pineapple picture.
10. **[$2.50 Each]** is the transition into Random Alley, repeating a muffled part of Pineapple store as the percussion kicks in
11. **Random Alley** is the 6th song in the album, inspired by Nine Inch Nails. This song is special because of its techno feel and being somehow catchy.
12. **[Triangle Crossing]** is the unexpected transition into Home Video Thrift having inspiration from that one soundtrack from *Alien*
13. **Home Video Thrift** is the 7th song in the album, which is the 2nd hip-hop reminiscent track. This song is also a reference to FADE's A5 track.
14. **[Sunset water]** is the transition into the final song, and is the longest transition of them all. The transition gives the mood of having to go back home from such an amazing place
15. **Anemoia** is the final song in the album, which has a more depressing feel to it. The name means nostalgia you never felt, for example how Cinnimin likes 90's equipment but was born after 2000.
16. **[Bright And Early]** is the final transition in the song. This transition goes from Anemoia all the way back to Mixtape Beach, implying you can always come back
