there's a very prominent mike oldfield sample in this track. really, he should get writing credits.

lol. i think you'd have to figure out the tuning, first. btw, the lack of tuning is why it sounds so "scary". what this particular track sounds like, really, is very early sonic youth.

it may seem weird, but you have to properly compare earthling to the other "electronica" records that came out in 1997 - by acts like daft punk, chemical brothers, prodigy, etc. when you do that, it comes out very strong on a couple of levels. one is the more interesting subject matter. another is the more interesting musicianship. nor is it all that weird when you think it through for a second. what larger influence was there on "breathe" than bowie?

i'd actually call it retro. it's what ministry should have started doing c. 1995; one of the best industrial records released in the post-downward spiral (or post dwayne goettel) period.
