notes
Hard synth stabs punctuate the repeated title chant, echoing the band's industrial-sampling phase. Built as stabbing synth chord hits in the style of Construction Time Again-era Depeche Mode, drawing on PPG Wave 2, E-mu Emulator sampler and Synclavier, with an E-mu Drumulator and Roland TR-808 for rhythm.
