heres the info that came with the rip- Im not sure on the track titles or the label pic from MA

Other than their excellent 1982 single, this is the only recorded output prior to the bands conversion to Omega. The opening track, Night Stalker, is a bit of a shock to anyone familiar only with their "Stormchild" single, as the song is a very upbeat, aggressive number more akin to a band like Mythra. It s a good song, just not one I expected from this particular band.

Follow-up The Light is more along the lines of what you would expect; a long, slower number meant to induce an epic feel with layers of atmosphere. This song was reworked as The Child on Omega's The Prophet album. Finally, the demo closes with Midnight Train, which is more similar to the tuneful, slightly atmospheric material of Bashful Alley's Running Blind. Again, not a bad number, but not the long, dark, epic this band is best known for.
