| Titel | About the piece |
| 1 Inner-city Light | The inner-city light replaces the sun at night and makes the people move. |
| 2 Panamerican Highway | This is the longest road in the world and reaches from Alaska to southern Argentina - over about 25.000 km. I only drove a small bit of this road myself in Mexico. Some things I encountered are in this piece: A bit of a tune played by 2 marimba players in Chiapas, a twisting Beetle (the car), a flat tire and hours of driving through a wide scenery. |
| 3 Heartbeat | An ode to the most beautiful sound on earth. |
| 4 El Paso De La Cigarra | The Cuban cigar burns its feet when it dances and starts to smoke. |
| 5 Under The Olive Tree | This is where I want to be when I'm in the mediterranean area. |
| 6 Easy Way Out | My thumb is the double-bassplayer in this piece and he's trying to find the easy way out. |
| 7 Bahia | A hommage to the great Brazilian Guitarist/ Composer Baden Powell. |
| 8 Stars In Orbit | Everything is in orbit, and so are you! |
| 9 Adagio For (6) Strings | The beginning of this famous adagio is transformed into a Trance version. This arrangement is inspired by the 2000 remix of W.Orbit and F.Corsten. |

| 14 Modern Angel | More than an Angel. |
"The
CD opens with the piece 'Inner-city Light': seldom a classical guitar sounded
so funky. A breath of Cuban lightness and 'Buena Vista Social Club' comes with
the titel 'El Paso de la Cigarra' from the speakers through the domestic livingroom.
Musical-paintings like the three-part 'Good Morning Suite', sensitive ballads
like 'Heartbeat' and pieces with driving grooves and swinging basslines - very
impressive is the piece 'Easy Way Out', where he succeeded in a marvellous manner
to imitate a double bass - this shows the extraordinary versatility of the young
guitarist. A versatility, that fortunately doesn't fall into arbitrary and the
album stands out very homogeneous."
