== Comments ==<br />
* An introit is a "piece of music sung or played at the beginning of a worship service".<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/introit</ref> In many Christian denominations, an introit is sung to begin the [[wikipedia:Eucharist|Eucharist]], or Holy Communion.<ref>https://www.episcopalchurch.org/glossary/introit/</ref><br />
* In the rite of the [[wikipedia:Mass in the Catholic Church|Catholic Mass]], especially as seen in the 1962 pre-Vatican II Missals, the Introit specifically refers to the beginning of The Liturgy of the [[wikipedia:Eucharist|Eucharist]]. This could tie directly into another track on the album "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" whose title comes from John 1:14, a verse that becomes central in the Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Christian denominations (especially Catholicism).<br />
* The synth that can be heard at 0:21 is very similar to and has the same notes as the flourishing synth that can be heard in “[[Aquarius]]”, “[[Warp10-03]]”, and “[[Alpha And Omega]]”.<br />
