Klaus Shulze inspired creation. I always loved the album 'Transfer' and wanted to capture a similar feel. SH5 kicks it off then I played my acoustic kit and double tracked my musicman bass panned left and right on top and squaked through a trumpet and plucked some violin strings and scraped some strings. There's tabla too which I overdubbed.  the crickets, water and frogs are real. I stuck a mic outside when doing the track in my mother's mudbrick house down in a swampy area at night. Added trumpet and some gongs later. Pitched my voice down for the 'stole your identity' line came to me in a dream...
