Notes

Described in the Virgin press release as being "quiet and introspective, This track describes a state of mind in which numbness heightens the sensitivity to hearing, in much the same way that feeling that you are going to 'throw up' makes you very sensitive to smell

Peter's Comments

"The example I like to give is sometimes when you're about to throw up, suddenly your sense of smell gets really vivid. The same thing happens with hearing, whether it's a knife scraping on the toast or a guy hammering on the next wall. You just become very sensitive to that."

"Some chords in there are very old, but the mood was something I liked. And then there was this moment in Africa when one of the echo machines jammed and started malfunctioning and I liked the sound of that, and so the loop that begins the track is actually from this Delta Lab Echo which was crapping out at the time."
