Commentary:
Essentially, this short track leads us into the glorious sweeping sound of Ketamine Sun. In itself, it’s a throwaway number with various members of the group introducing themselves, over a slight musical background, in various comic ways. The best part of the song is the line, “You’re a walking pile of Adidas crap”, one of MES’s best putdowns.
