There is no voice sample at all during all the track; the sample you hear in the released version appears here in the beginning of the track before the music starts.

Notes
• ‘Mahadeva (Special Remix For MP3.com)’ has actually been released on various compilation as ‘Mahadeva (96′ Remix)’. Same thing with ‘Mahadeva 2000’, which is actually the released track ‘Mahadeva ’99’.
• Fake Names/Mistitled Tracks:
‘Astral Projection vs Antiloop – Reconstruction’ is actually the released track ‘Coppertone’ by Savastano.
‘Astral Projection – Come With Me’.
‘Astral Projection – Dancing Spies’ is actually the released track ‘Dancing Galaxy’.
‘Astral Projection – Firewater’ is a track from BT and not Astral Projection.
‘Astral Projection – Further! (Remix)’ is actually a track from US band Astral Project, released on a DAM CD called “Further! EP”. The misunderstanding comes from their phonetic proximity.
“Astral Projection – In The Beginning (Star Wars Mix)’ is actually the released track ‘The Beginning (A New Hope) (Clubmix)’ by the trance project Liquid Sun (hence the misunderstanding with “Dancing Galaxy” album track of Astral Projection of the same name).
‘Astral Projection – Mirage’.
‘Astral Projection – Mix Emusica Damage’.
‘Astral Projection – Monkey’ is actually the released track ‘Sleeper Must Awake (feat MFG)’.
‘Astral Projection – MuaDib’ is actually the released track ‘Sleeper Must Awake (feat MFG)’.
‘Astral Projection – Noises’ is actually the released track ‘Firedance (The Sunrise)’ by Odyssey Of Noises.
‘Astral Projection – Rai (Closer Remix)’.
‘Astral Projection – Rai (Jedi Bastards Remix)’.
‘Astral Projection – Temporal Flux’ is actually a track from US band Astral Project, released on a DAM CD called “Further! EP”. The misunderstanding comes from their phonetic proximity.
‘Astral Projection – Trancelucent Uplifting Trance (Floorplay)’ is actually the released track ‘Another World (Floorplay Remix)’.
‘Astral Projection – Unknown1’ is actually the released track ‘Sleeper Must Awake (feat MFG)’.
‘Astral Projection – Vstring’ is actually a track produced by Astral Matrix and not by Astral Projection.
‘Astral Projection – Year 3001’ is actually a nitzhonot track from Parahemp.
‘Astral Projection – Yo Yo-Goa Trance’ is actually the released track ‘Power Gen’.
• ‘Dj UX – Spiral Clone (Astral Projection Remix)’: UX does not refer to Kris Kylven’s project, but to the MP3.com project of Robin Gunning (Promon). This track was never remixed by Astral Projection.
