This was the fourth album in the 10th Anniversary Collection. It was a digital re-release of the 1996 Equation of Time album.

The first seventeen tracks are the same as the original 1996 album, just digitally remixed. Tracks 18-22 are the previously unreleased bonus tracks. They were unused tracks from the Equation of Time recording sessions.

Track 18 was the original version of the song. The version that appeared on the album, "One Night (v2.0)", was the re-recorded version. The next three tracks were finished songs, they just didn't seem to fit on the album. And the last track was yet another version of the famous "Etesian Wind" song that first appeared on the 1991 album Olympus. This was a faster, almost disco version of the song that had lots of vocal effects.

Unfortunately, as with the previous album in this collection (Pryme Material 10th), this album was never totally finished. The tracks were compiled but the CD's were never burned. And in this case, none of the labels or covers were even designed or printed. It does retain the 2006 release date though. The Studio is working to hopefully complete the album soon.
