Freight Train feat. Marcellus Nealy
Lyrics&vocal; : Marcellus Nealy

Funky Gong wanted to make Freight Train as something like “funky” and
“rocky” track, so he collaborated with Marcellus Nealy who sang with
Johannes Heil before.
They started to be jamming with Funky Gong’s guitar riff and Mercellus’s
elektro-funky voice.
This track gets the crowd funky feeling and FREIGHT TRAIN to it!

4. Rectifier
Written&Produced;:Minoru Tsunoda
Rectifier is well emotional and heavy electro-rocky tunes !
Funky Gong begun from synth noise rather than his bass guitar line as
usual but it ended up as guitar-rocky elektro dark style.
He likes it and already proved to the dance floor from his DJ set that
crowds really loves it coz’ this is FUNKY GONG style !
