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.

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