Agreed. The production, percussion, melodies, and overall development are
pure Jega.

I *really* think, purely by process of elimination, that this track
(perhaps the most thrilling IDM moment in recent memory) is the work of
Bola. Read on.

Agreed. The sampled breaks from "Card Hore" at the beginning are the
giveaway.

I think this is Funkstorung. If you listen to the first two MAS records,
this track has the same feel as Fakesch/DeLuca in distorted mid-tempo
breaks mode.

That's beacause it's gotta be HellInterface/BoC. The icy hip-hop beats, the
plaintive melodicism...I'd be very surprised if this wasn't Mike&Marcus.
That leaves Bola as the only one without a track, so I'd attribute the
"Trapped" re-interpretation to him. 

Just call me Nancy Drew.... ;)
