There is a remarkable lack of negitive comments on this song.  I figured at at least someone would come on here and trash it.

This slithery track, "Snow Patrol," and "Hotel Parallel" are very hip and hypno-tech atmospheric, and "Carbon Kid" just jams way beyond belief (with Brian Molko from Placebo doing some absolutely screaming vokes!)...  Always loved this, and thanks to RP for turning me onto it!

I'm hearing some Bowie in the vocal track.  Layered on top of a simple yet effective beat and musical effects, it makes a really good song.

8/10 Edit:

Ok, it isn't a complicated song really, but I love it.  It's catchy without being overly poppish, has just enough going on in it to give it some depth, and simple enough that I don't have to steep (like the world's nastiest tea bag) in it before understanding it.

Never had a chance to listen to this at a pretty good cranked-up level before. Even trippier thataway. I like it.

Sure sounds like it.  I don't think it is, though. Not a bad tune either way.

Love this song.  Hear it on Sirius Chill while vacationing in Vancouver, so this song always reminds me of riding through the mountains.  Another amazing find by Bill.  I also like Hotel Parallel, which is also played here.

purchased this album on an impulse - pretty satisfying trippy stuff - "hotel parallel" is another great track
