Mountain Pass Express

{slow tape-hiss intro, dusty vinyl crackle,

a single looping Rhodes chord with wow and flutter,

far-off train whistle filter sweep} {dusty boom-bap beat drops,

muted kick, brushed

snare, loose swung hi-hats,

sub bass tracing long sliding notes,

reversed guitar swells}

{Rhodes filters down, sparse resonant sitar

accents emerge, buried pitch-shifted vocal chops floating in delay,

deep bass swell} (ahhhh) (drift) {full

beat

returns, Rhodes chord

sequence brightens

slightly, heavy tape-saturated

sub bass, distant train track rhythmic shuffle} (ooooh) {drums drop

out,

Rhodes wobbles into slow pitch decay,

delayed sitar notes trail off,

tape stops with a slow wind-down click}
