Initially this was planned as an EP, but I guess Stan was adding tracks to this as he went on. Collection of industrial, EBM, psytrance, darkwave, synthpop and witchy tracks, some he even described as chillwave-adjacent ("Agony's End"). A few of those cuts were on his SC for a while prior to this release, some are b-sides from prev projects, and the rest are original compositions. You can totally tell zxz's heart is at the 80s and 90s crossroads. It may appear like "Somnambulist" is all over the place, but it sounds really good in the album format (with the exception of "Dresden", which is insane, in a good way - but does stand out). But now I think of it, it could also be easily split into 3 independent, more genre-focused EPs. For example, "Pagan Warrior", "Ghost Rave", "Alone", "far below zero" and "Phantom" would make a solid witch house release on its own. Anyway, the whole thing is good though, check it out. Somnambulist btw means "a person who walks about in his or her sleep; a sleepwalker".
