This album is an eclectic mix of instrumental rock tracks and songs that use the voice as an instrument. Only instruments are guitars, vocals, drum machine, and the occasional keyboard, but the computer was utilized to process sounds so as to create sonic variety. The opening track has guitars processed to sound like a mix between a trumpet and a violin and has a somewhat classical feel. "For JF" is a sweeping mid-tempo, melodically-driven instrumental. Next is the first appearance of vocals on the album, with lyrics inspired by Deuteronomy and a layered guitar solo section. The two parts of "Introludio" are based on samples from the first track, processed in various ways to sound extra-terrestrial. "The Ballad of the Lazy Needle" is a minor blues with a jazz-rock solo and a heavy beat. "KO-Lab" is a funk-rock instrumental with a psychedelic guitar solo. Part two of "Introludio" is followed by a Lo-fi rendition of the spiritual "Wade in the Water". "The End" hypnotizes the listener before an explosive ending leaves tension in the air. God's Grace is an acoustic departure from the distortion and psychedelia of the rest of the album, following the plan of God's creation and ending the album in a positive mood. Intergalactic Mysterioso Soundtrack is best-enjoyed straight through, beginning to end.
