notes
A key album track, later remade in 2023 as 'Clash of the Titans' on Sexodus. The lead line on "Carry My Urn to Ukraine" is voiced on the S1000 choir/orchestral rig and JD-800, detuned saws pushed through a bright filter sweep to cut over the choir/orchestral bed. Light detune and unison widen it just enough for the wall-of-sound arrangement.
