Play on hypersongs

One of the few pieces on Mi Media Naranja with vocals: sparse piano, strings and Nelson's half-spoken chant, with, as Misfit City put it, guitar dust-bunnies over the pulse of a metal bowl. Harold Budd remixed it for a Wire magazine compilation in 1998. The band played it on their autumn 1997 European tour, including a Black Session for French radio in Paris.
