Content

Cryosleep consists of a cover of the 1970 Simon & Garfunkel song "Bridge over Troubled Water"; a cover of the 1956 song "Fever" performed by Bellamy's band the Jaded Hearts Club; three rearranged Muse songs, "Guiding Light", "Unintended" and "Take a Bow"; Bellamy's composition "Pray", from the album For the Throne: Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones; and the previously tracks "Behold, the Glove" and "Tomorrow's World". [3]

Bellamy recorded "Guiding Light" with the same guitar Jeff Buckley used on his only studio album, Grace , which Bellamy stated he would use on future Muse albums. [2] [3] [4] Bellamy said: "I had a whole team of people doing due diligence on it to make sure it was absolutely the right guitar, interviewing his family and all sorts." [5]

Before the album's release, Bellamy announced that "Tomorrow's World", "Unintended" and "Guiding Light" would be auctioned as NFTs. [6] The auction was held on the website Cryptograph and made 73,000 dollars. [7] [2]
