Samples / Lyrics[edit]

"the deal with Democrats, Republicans agreed to [???] ... language that would make even legal immigrants liable for deportation if they use government relief programs for one year out of their first seven in the country. President Clinton has held the accord(*), saying it fought illegal immigration without hurting innocent children or punishing legal immigrants. For the Christian Science Monitor, I'm Jon Decker in Washington." [1]

  • The end of the track uses almost (if not exactly) the same synth countermelody as "Breaking Nehushtan".[2]

Trivia[edit]

  • It has been suggested that the name 'Trade Winds Mix' may be a reference to an anecdote shared in passing by Michael Sandison in a 1998 Space Age Bachelor interview:

"It's a small world. I stayed in Braeside for a while and I remember a shoot out near the Trade Winds hotel, when I was told to get down on the floor of the car."[3]

  • This song plays identically but at different speeds between releases. While the only digital source of this available is the slower speed Marion (20th Anniversary Edition) version, it's likely that the faster, vinyl-only Demon 1 version is at the band's intended speed. This can be inferred based off its reported track length on Boc Remii Vol. 1 as well as the "Breaking Nehushtan" sample matching the pitch of that song on the faster version.
