Samples / Lyrics[edit]

  • Throughout the track a looped vocal sample can be heard. This is taken from "Missa L'homme armĂ© sexti toni", a choral piece by Josquin des Prez originally published in 1502.[1] This sample was discovered by Twoism user personman. The sample is substantially pitched-up and the exact recording it is taken from is unclear.
  • 0:50 - Male voices:
    "You can get a better hit than that."
    "Very beautiful."
    "[indistinct] and lock the laser on the target, Aaron."
    "Locking the laser on target. Target is no more."

Trivia[edit]

The synth starting about 33 seconds into the song may be inspired by background music from the 1985 TV show 'Misfits of Science'.[2]
