- single lyric/melody line repeated – with slight variations in text
- 10 x 9 bar measures – the first section has no vox.
- the 11th and final measure is only 7 bars
- vox flutters from left to right rapidly
- big reverb on the vox
- big crescendo of ‘noise’ begins at the 5th section and ends at the 11th (outro)
- 1st: long organ chords and kik/snr intro
- 2nd: vox
- 3rd: counter melody + ‘drain’ percussive hit with reverb
- 4th: vox harmonies
- 5th: noise begins to creep in
- 6th:
- 7th: drums drop out – heavy bass
- 8th: kik back in
- 9th: opening hi hat in – gets ducked by kik
- 10th: closed hi hat ticking in – combines with ducked open hat
- 11th(outro): drums except kik drop out, noises dies away, vox loses verb
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- overall structure with noise crescendo
- single melody/lyric line repeated
