Phantom Pt. II
Track six of Cross, an instrumental that samples the theme from Dario Argento's Tenebre.
Justice, from Cross (2007)
"Phantom Pt. II" is the sixth track of Cross, 3:20 (MusicBrainz lists 3:21), an instrumental released as a single on November 26, 2007 (French Wikipedia says the maxi single appeared in late October) after the first part, "Phantom" (4:22), which was on Ed Rec Vol. 2 and on the D.A.N.C.E. 12-inch. Wikipedia credits the sampled theme from Dario Argento's Tenebre (1982), by Simonetti, Morante and Pignatelli, three former members of Goblin, and an uncredited sample of Boney M's "Sunny"; the "Sunny" claim rests on the Cross article alone and is not corroborated. PopMatters's Evan Sawdey called it an inferior rewrite of Part I in 2007. We found no statement from the duo on what it is about, and no video.
Versions include a Justice edit of the two parts (2:55) and remixes by Soulwax (7:25), Freemasons (6:02) and Boys Noize (5:25). A live version closed Access All Arenas at 7:58, recorded in Nimes on July 19, 2012; another of 9:54, from San Francisco on March 27, 2008, is on A Cross the Universe. It was played at the 9:30 Club in Washington on March 21, 2012 and in a Soulwax-remix medley with "Genesis" and "Phantom" at The Anthem in Washington on July 28, 2024. "Waters of Nazareth" on Access All Arenas samples it. We could not get a setlist.fm count, and could not tell which version our upload is.
