As Klay and Criss began to write the songs, they began to develop a strong friendship. Both loved to make the same type of music and both had the same cyberpunk visual image that was incorporated heavily into the World of Illusion stage-shows. Angeldust did not last that long as Criss went onto to further his solo illusionist career and Klay formed his latest project, Celldweller. Up to this day, even though both men are busy with their own successful projects, Klay still helps Criss Angel make music for his popular Mindfreak television show, most notably the theme song to the show. Accordingly, Klayton can be seen in the Mindfreak music video, playing guitar and keyboards. Select songs from the System trilogy have since been compiled and re-released on the Criss Angel Mindfreak soundtrack.

The "natural" spelling is, "Amystika" (or "Amystica")
-- The spelling, "AMIXtika", is a play-on-words,
Which is the Title of the last track of "System 3"...
It is titled/spelled that way, because it's a "reMIX" ("mash-up")
Including small segments of most of the songs, all MIXed together.
(The word itself, is already a play-on-words, for "a mystical"...
As in, "in to a mystical world of illusion", and so on).
In this part of Criss Angel's song "Phantasm," he invites the listener to look into his mind's eye and feel his power. He then references the concept of reaching into his soul, which he claims is under his control, suggesting a level of confidence in his abilities. Kayla then chants the phrase "Into Amystika," followed by another round of the same chant by a woman's voice.
The phrase "Into Amystika" likely refers to entering a mystical or otherworldly state. This could be interpreted as a representation of entering into Criss Angel's world of illusion, or even a metaphor for entering into his psyche. Either way, the repetition of the chant creates a hypnotic and otherworldly atmosphere.
