With this music the roller-coaster dips into the carnival below, beyond the disfigured faces behind the masquerade. "I am everyone and no one. Everywhere. Nowhere. Call me... Darkman" Side A - Begins with 'Main Title', darkly ominous kettle drum and horn section augmented by flute flourishes, segues into 'Woe, The Darkman Woe', dark and sweet, makes me think of a whirley-gig smashing through a ceiling and landing in calm waters, softening horns and strings break and the piece ends in harp. 'Rebuilding/Failure', strings dominate and set a tender mood. 'Julie Transforms' is woodwind and ends with bells.

Mann with incidental music by progressive rock and horror aficionado, Goblin keyboardist, Maurizio Guarini.
Side one - 'Phase In' starts with the track 'Love Without Sound' (2'55") written by Delia Derbyshire and David Vorhaus, after a burst of dreamy vocals what sounds intermittently like toads singing and crickets chirping to the accompaniment of a heavy heart beat
Side A - 'Dunroamin'' begins with a bus conductors ringing of the bell and the vehicle pulling away. A beautiful intro with piano like synth lines and what sounds like vibraphone before breaking into a vocal magically invoking a journey with some warm fiddle playing.
