notes
a textural, semi-atmospheric synth part sits in the background, more sound-design than melody, filtered and modulated for mood rather than a hook. Exile's concept-album darkness (Numan's fictional religious narrative) is carried by slow synth pads and drones under increasingly guitar-heavy industrial arrangements
