Those chimey jangly intro sounds always reminded me of a Christmas song from hell. On top of that, that heinously unsettling, loud sound that fades in throughout the track adds an immense amount of tension to the song.

Great song! Love the general minimalism of it and those circular melodys, nice n' fresh.

i'm just imagining it live now...

i would probably lie on the ground and let the sounds float freely around me...i would advise everyone to do this of course.

the instrument that comes in at 1.49 reminds me (don’t ask why) of 1940-1950 britain.

of course, he's suffering from a psychological breakdown :wink:

I agree it must be played loud!

Hafta admit though, upon first hearing it years ago, it sounded to me like a rip-off of Moby's "Porcelain". C'mon, tell me you don't hear similarities between those two!

Reminds me of My Bloody Valentine more than any of BoC's other tunes. It wouldn't sound out of place of Loveless.
