- quiet ambient noise loop to start
- plinky synth rhythm joins
- drums and machine loops enter suddenly
- vox and bass enter – bass is just one long note hold/throb/hum
- chorus features big gtr chords, then (relative) pause – repeated 4 times
- return to intro before 2nd verse
- instrumental break before 2nd verse vox enters
- middle section features loop from film strk (woman gasping, grunting)
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- bass enter – bass is just one long note hold/throb/hum
- middle section features loop of ambient ‘other place’ sound (from film strk)
