Tracks 1 to 8 is the original "Focus" album, remastered.
Tracks 9 to 11 & 14b are remixes of "Focus" songs.
NB: track 14b is not present in the tracklist and comes as a hidden track after "Endless Endeavors", so total track 14's length is 9:55.
Tracks 12 to 14a are demos taken from the 1994 "Portal Demo" (Fall 1994), a post-Cynic project that featured Gobel, Masvidal and Reinert alongside Aruna Abrams and Chris Kringel (who was also the touring bassist for Cynic).
