The fifth track serves as a centerpiece for the album. It starts out with a bouyant, gliding beat overlaid with hazy drones. It takes its time setting up an atmosphere similar to "Uviol" for the first three minutes. A rattling chord progression similar to the distorted banjo on "Drane2" enters in the center channel as the tempo begins to speed up slightly, then the beat drops out, replaced by a malfunctioning drum kit and subterranian bass lines. The track chips away and crumbles for the next seven minutes.

The chaos isn't complete, though. Even as the initial elements are torn away by the shambling drums, a slightly audible version of the opening drone is still implied in the background, even if only as a faint echo. It maintains a push/pull feel between the initial smooth forward-motion of the track and the stuttering regression of its disintegrating second half. Certain repeated elements bob to the surface and endure long enough to be identifiable as motives, but none hold for long. At the end, the center fails, and without resolution in sight, everything collapses under the strain and the track ends abruptly.

Even at 11:23, "Surripere" can't be taken as a self-contained entity. Like the preceding tracks, it's constantly edging forward, even when it appears to be backpedaling. All anticipation without a glance behind, it refuses to stand still or establish any kind of lasting bearings. As the first side of Draft 7.30 draws to a close, there's every expectation of an outcome, but no hint of what it may be.
