Hats off to the passenger, lazer focus when surrounded by all the hocus pocus. I know that feeling when looking so hard that not even the obvious is noticed. So just know this, rebirth from a rose to a lotus, cocked ready set, already blowing holes in this circus. Didn’t want to take the stage and didn’t want to be a preacher so I sit kicked backed under the bleachers with a RadioShack boombox speaker.
What the hell is that bassline made of? I NEED TO KNOW! It sounds like maybe a resynthesis of an old dial-up modem or something. I feel like it's definitely a sample and if not, they probably used granular synthesis. Maybe a Reaktor module? It's so unusual, but it's like the production technique is dangling right in front of me and I can't quite grab it.
Nostradamus in a modern age atmospheric spit the lyrics of a mage ❤ sky daddy steps down and this man is the stage now set yourself free your mind is the cage
