White Cyclosa
Running time	3:13
Appears on	Tomorrow's Harvest

"White Cyclosa" is highly reminiscent of, and possibly a homage to, music from the film Day of the Dead (1985). Suggested comparison - the opening sequence of "The Dead Suite" on the soundtrack album, credited to John Harrison.

The sound of a large helicopter's blades whirring plays throughout most of the track.
- At 2:12 the synth arpeggiations are heard in the machinery's overtones.
  - (speculation) The opening 9 seconds looks like the Lolita whale image, but the sounds are the coal spiders in Spirited Away. Sea Shepherd's website has a this shirt about the Taiji (太地町) mass kill, and I think the point is that 太 (tài) highest, 地 (dì) terra, 町 (tǐng) border between fields, is slightly ironic, given their ancestors terraformed their islands to look like sperm whales, just like Cuba looks like a spawning blue whale, and Florida looks like a cresting blue whale with fin. Sea Shepherd has these jackets for sale which are made of 35% polyethylene terephthalate (recycled plastic bottles) (%3hite 5yclosa).

Cyclosa is a species of spider that spins its silk into life-size decoys of itself to aid in hunting prey. ^[1]
