Detroit-based producer Alex Wilcox sounds like he took the challenge of making a track that would work as a soundtrack for a harder, faster, more frantic and intense sequel to Run Lola Run in writing “Sleep Paralysis.” The song wastes no time going headlong with pounding beats, an echoing pulse, alien voices warping through reverb, textured electronic percussion and expertly timed dynamic shifts that are themselves processed as if through a tiny bit of phasing so that you get the impression of hurtling through a bendy maze of dark walls and flickering neon colors toward a mysterious destination at a desperate run. Like actual sleep paralysis the song has that hyper real, disoriented feeling with your heart pounding and the world around you moving at seemingly breakneck speeds relative to your inability to move or interact, rather, you mind races in a near or full panic. Not as terrifying as that feeling, the song nevertheless captures some of that anxiety and a sustained, harried feeling.
