Disc five features 18 keyboard based instrumentals, 4 guitar based instrumentals, and various takes and versions of 5 songs with lyrics. Evan wrote "V and VI" on the face of this CD, suggesting the anthology has six parts. I do not know where part V ends and part VI begins. Most of the material on this disc seems to me to have been recorded before the material on disc four.
1. (blank space)
2. Moments, Days, and Ages (take 1) (guitar instrumental 29)
This take serves as an experiment in letting one guitar strum and hold a single chord while another guitar strums different chords. It is surprisingly effective. Only the verse and chorus are present.
3. Moments, Days, and Ages (take 2) (guitar instrumental 29)
This take adds a keyboard part but lacks the excellent lyrics to come.
4. Moments, Days, and Ages (take 3) (guitar instrumental 29)
This is mostly the downtempo bridge section emerging
5. Moments, Days, and Ages (take 4) (guitar instrumental 29)
Another arrangement of the verse and chorus chords
6. Ominous Jazz (keyboard instrumental 32)
7. (near blank)
8. Simon Says (a.k.a. Her Imperial Majesty Adorned, Imperious) (keyboard instrumental 33)
9. (blank)
10. Your Kung Fu is Very Powerful (take 1) (keyboard instrumental 34)
11. Your Kung Fu is Very Powerful (take 2) (keyboard instrumental 34)
12. Must Use Word "Island" In Title (a.k.a. The Oblivious Child) (keyboard instrumental 35)
13. (blank)
14. The Return of H.W. Funk (keyboard instrumental 36)
i. The Return
ii. The Rage
15. (blank)
16. Ta-Ta (keyboard instrumental 37)
The odd keyboard/drum machine number that features harmonica
17. Completely Visible Touch (keyboard instrumental 38)
18. We're All Brothers (keyboard instrumental 39)
19. As The Carnival Rolled In (take 1) (keyboard instrumental 40)
20. As The Carnival Rolled In (take 2) (keyboard instrumental 40)
21. Say Goodnight (keyboard instrumental 41)
22. I'm Longing For A Human Voice (keyboard instrumental 42)
23. Banding Mistake (keyboard instrumental 43)
24. (blank)
25. North Dakota Variations (keyboard instrumental 44)
26. (count in for next track)
27. It's Another Day
A melodic, very Justin Hayward-like song in a simple guitar/voice/guitar solo arrangement
28. CSI: St. Paul (keyboard instrumental 45)
29. Sunset of an Icy Lake (keyboard instrumental 46)
30. (blank)
31. Beethoven's Pentatonicth (a.k.a. The Other Logan's Other Run) (keyboard instrumental 47)
32. If You Believe
33. Monkey's Blues (guitar instrumental 30)
34. Airball (keyboard instrumental 48)
35. I Might Get Through
Some interesting meter changes happen in this song I was at first going to label "Stay Gold Outsiders" when I thought it was a guitar instrumental. It is a complete song, lasting almost 4 minutes.
36. One Man's Nirvana Is (guitar instrumental 31)
37. Riding Ship Horse Sea Sunset (guitar instrumental 32)
38. Sitting by the Window
Watching nature, snow that was rain, and a sleeping woman who was crying all appear in this complete song.
39. (count in to next track)
40. Another Man's Party (keyboard instrumental 49)
41. How Could I Know (take 6)
A backing vocal and keyboard make this take interesting before it fades out at the first bridge.
