V-Proc
In contrast, this track is more conservative. It opens with a vocal sustained vocal patch that gets swallowed by cavernous reverb while a metallic chord (think "Squeller") shudders at the periphery. There's a sense of subdued drama and paranoia that recalls the Future Sound of London's Dead Cities in the tranquil spots. However, unlike FSOL, who were content to ride the atmosphere for extended periods, Autechre reign it in quickly with a mutating 2/4 beat harkening back to "6IE.CR," and it falls back to accompaniment. The drums gradually take the foreground as the opening samples are strangled to the point of incomprehensibility.
As riveting as the track is at first, it doesn't have enough base material to sustain it past the four-minute mark. It goes on for about a minute longer until, like "Surripere," it simply hits a wall and ends abruptly.
