I LOVE THIS TUNE and consider it one the the best of Massive Attack (so far). What you hear on the sample is basically what you will hear on the download with the exception of the vocal, which unfortunately isn't included. You might recognize this sample segment since it was also used as the soundtrack for the TV show House, M.D.
REVIEW
This song starts with drumming in a 4/4 rhythm with a crisp rim shot punctuating a slowly writhing clavinet melody. This is soon joined by some deep piano chords. At one minute a wispy female vocal enters. I normally am not a big fan of this type of breathy vocal but in this case it works quite well. The rim shot carries on throughout the tune with the occasional crackling, vinyl record sound effect entering from time to time. The rhythms are expertly intertwined to make a haunting and beautiful musical experience.
