The intro reminds me of Beautiful Day oddly enough. Then the Irish singing kicks in, and it reminds me of the intro they used on the '09 360 tour.

The song takes a long time to truly kick in, but it's lovely how the intro builds up layer by layer. Then at 2 minutes it's like a whole new song starts. Rockin' intro. Definitely inspired by early 90s electronica there.

Really cool, sorta out there piece. Really more of an experiment to me than anything else. But a lovely experiment that really gets rockin' once the beat comes in.

I wish I could have heard the rest of the clockwork orange soundtrack, if it sounded anything as good as this it would have been incredible, I'm guessing though that it didn't...
Scary and dark this song really captures a fearful mood, and when that awesome beat kicks in the effect is orgasmic! Jouissance!

Agreed- I'm so curious. This is really interesting, would have loved to hear the rest.

One of their cooler tracks to play for the haters.

9. I'd give it a 10 if there were a vocal on it.

Love this one.

Really cool psychedelic intro, love the strumming in the first two minutes of the song. Not a fan of the high-pitched vocals, but love the rest of the song. Not a big fan of the high-pitched vocals or the ending. 8.
