- very strange rhythm – 7 beats, then 6 (which I think is in 13/8.)
- piano intro, hammering out the chords and rhythm
- drums join and background loops of people screaming, or laughing.
- heavy machine drums drive the main beat, repeated throughout the song
- acoustic break in the middle; acst gtr and backing vox (ah ah) – this part seems 3/4
- rapid fire bass/gtr riff joins
- returns to acoustic part
- song drifts off to the left, fading, goes to hard pan as next track fades in on the right
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- hard panned crossfade into next track
- unusual rhythm – makes it hard to dance/tap foot to
