  • The low drone throughout the track is possibly a sample of the sound of "singing sand dunes", a phenomenon caused by wind blowing over sand dunes where the sand has certain specific properties, which can be heard in around 35 desert locations around the world.

A clip of the sound of singing sand dunes, very similar to the drone in "Uritual", can be found here.
