The best I can describe the melody in this one is "grandiose sadness". It's wonderful.

This x2. This track is incredible. To me, it's very frightening. I like that.

I think this may be an early contender for my favorite track...so far

For some reason whenever I listen to this song it makes me think of Pete Standing Alone, but it could just be me. As I always compare songs to eachother.

Yep, its official! THIS is my favorite track on the album......this week!
I had the track playing in the car yesterday and it gave me goosebumps. A track hasn't done that in a very long time (and it was nothing to do whatsoever with the cold air blasting out of the heater vents!)

Love this track. Works so well faded in from RFTD ending too. On it's own CTD seems so melancholy, but when following RFTD it's relatively upbeat

Incidentally, it's well worth a listen in reverse. It holds it's own as a tune in it's own right. Plus the ending sounds really cool.

Actually, I think it could overlay the forward version excellently if done by someone with a bit of skill.

So, in summary - great track forward or backwards!

This is the Epilogue for me, right before the credits roll.

As I read this, I transitioned from CTD to SM on my headphones. You're right, it really does seem like the epilogue before the thoroughly depressing credits!

The VHS processing seals the deal

I'm so glad they gave those interviews.

This was really a sleeper track for me. As I was slavishly pouring over Nothing Is Real (while listening to the rest of the album, yes...but mostly NIR) it would play and I would say internally "that's nice" and go back to looping NIR (yeah, a sickness, blah blah blah. I'm a BoC fan, whadaya expect?). Then, slowly it begins to seep in. AWESOME live drums, what with the kick coming in to introduce the sampled beats toward the end. I can see the whole -step comparison too. It seems fair enough, seeing as they helped to shape that very sound (perhaps not entirely in a direct way, but certainly pushing the electrons forward). It's place in the play order effects it's emotional impact more than other tunes on the disc, too. Paired with it's twin, it creates a nice equation. A nearly self contained call and response. As the penultimate song, it creates a greater feel of dread and finality, the notes start to drip with angst.

Yes. Some ramblings on this and it's place in the squence here:

Anybody notice the striking similarity between the synth sound that starts this off and the beginning of "Swing the Heartache" by Bauhaus? Keep expecting that rapid fire staccato snare to jump in.

I know the comparison's been made before but if Tomorrow's Harvest is the 70's era film warning of apocalypse, with Gemini as the BoC logo and opening credits, this is the one with the credits rolling over it. And it's hopeful, because we're supposed to watch the film and take away a message of how to avoid the collapse, but instead the film went missing and the warning unheeded for 40 years. (Semena Mertvkh isn't on the tape, it's the premonition of the real unaverted apocalypse still to come. )
