'White peak, dark peak' splits the Collective into two bands, the white peak bright band and the more sinister dark peak sections, reflecting Derbyshire's dual personality. The piece then segues into 'The Devil's Elbow' which is based on a legend of a man opposing his daughter's marriage - he would rather she wed the Devil. But the Devil's arm turned to stone so he ripped it out and threw it on the moor, to form a bend in the road. It is said that you can still see a strange black form gliding across the moorland near the road, which is known as 'The Devil's Elbow.'
