Data Insight
Discogs credits the record to Brandon Smith and Chris Yarber together at release level and never splits it song by song, which puts Yarber on the writing in his first year with the band rather than in a support role. Yarber also sings on Illusion, Break Away and Ex, and an outside vocalist, Justin Merando, takes a part on Held Apart and Closer Again. With Brandon Smith on the mix and the master as well, the album is a shared writing credit wrapped in one member's engineering.
The Anix put out their first full-length themselves on 12 May 2004, twelve songs cut by the Los Angeles four-piece around Brandon Smith's vocals and Chris Yarber's synths. Brandon Smith mixed and mastered it, and the disc carries no producer credit at all. Seven of these songs were re-recorded for the band's label debut the following year.

Frequently Asked Questions An Illusion of Time
Who wrote An Illusion of Time by The Anix?
Discogs credits the album to Brandon Smith and Chris Yarber at release level and does not break the writing down track by track. Nothing else publishes a per-song split, so which of the two led on any given track is not documented.

What is the last track on An Illusion of Time?
Track twelve is Ex, which runs 9:16 and contains a hidden song called New after a long silence. MusicBrainz lists the same track as Ex / [silence] / New.
Data note: Discogs release 6480060 credits Brandon Smith and Chris Yarber for the writing at release level with no per-track split and no separate lyricist attribution, and names no producer.
