5/ Never Lost (4:43) - slow tempo & fade
*6/ Iceberg 1 (2:55) - flurry of notes like someone celebrating a success, then mellows into midtempo & slows to a crawl & quick stop
*7/ Green Gardens (4:23) - uptempo like gazelles running across a field, then starts swinging> quick stop
*8/ Sunrise Bay (7:39) - slow tempo builds to uptempo modern boogie woogie. slows at end to stop
9/ Iceberg 2 (5:17) - slow & hesitating morphs to slow solo> ominous chords> ponderous> slow fade
