As Planewalker's first serious foray into bass music, Prisoner of the Sky takes inspiration from his native New Mexico landscape with big vistas and rolling clouds to produce an EP with serious soul and authenticity. Starting off with Mantra Modulation, a serious Bollywood beat with aggressive baselines, strange instruments and his vocal rendition of master yogi Swami Shyam's mantra "Amaram Hum Madhuram Hum", this track was a huge hit in the sacred bass scene and continues to rock dance floors across the world. After that, the EP lightens up with Prisoner of the Sky, a relatively light and airy piece with a beautiful exotic feel. The music then takes a darker turn with Wuzdat Wobble, a dark psychedelic dub piece with a Mellotron flute hook. The EP ends with the heavy-metal inspired Das Uber Whaumpf, featuring Planewalker's original rhythm and lead guitar work with enough distortion to get your head banging like a proper 80s rocker. In summary, the EP has mostly a world flavor with a little bit of shred to keep you on your toes. It shows that Planewalker can make broken beats with just as much grace as he makes trance.
