Lyrics
Black Box (Pt. 1)
The weather was absolutely perfect on this morning, so we could see everything very clearly
You knew that there had been a terrible eruption but you couldn’t see any machinery
You just see this collapsing ice
When we got closer, the pilot said there was something on the radar that he hadn’t seen the day before
Then we saw for the first time what had happened in the crater
We saw nothing but black ice, covered with ash and then water with floating ice blocks and ash at the bottom
We only got a very brief glimpse but you really felt you were seeing something nobody had seen before
I got really afraid, my heart missed a beat
I felt this had already happened, but I was about to see it again

Quotes
I always have an often clouded vision when making music, and allowing that to migrate and evolve as you go is one of the great joys in creating. At times, I end up combining several ideas into one long piece where others might divide them into separate songs. I do enjoy music which takes time to unfold, and which doesn’t conform to the standard pop/rock structures.[1]
— Alan Wilder - Stereoklang
