Inspirations

Initially - future engineers.  Steppin', pacey, catchy, clever, trancey drumnbass.
The crazyness of the beats was just me drifting away from this template and 
inevitably getting into my usual rhythmic obsessions.  i wrote the b-section later, 
aiming for an ozric tentacles -style "airy plateau", that winds into serious intensity 
with stacks of electric guitar.  i like the b-section much more.  the 'morph' was 
inspired by the production of keiretsu's "seismosis", where we had a 16-bar gap between 
two sections, and took every sound in each and literally twisted them into each other. 
Lots of fun - always seems to work out well: it ended up my favourite bit of the track 
in seismosis and in this one.

Actual motto when making this track:
	"Reverse everything"
Could (should) equally have been:
	"Shove a delay on everything"
	"Automate everything"
