Noir-ish, moody, theme from an imaginary Bond film. Epic stuff.
Early Portishead b-side that lays out the blueprint for their John-Barry-meets-Wu-Tang-Clan-uptown early sound. Kindred spirit of Roy Budd's Get Carter soundtrack and Harry South's Sweeney end-theme.
It opens with great sweeps of backwards piano, undulating bass wobble, evolving slowly with twanging guitar, atmospherics, more backwards loops and some gorgeously sombre piano.
By the time it eventually builds to cloudburst with epic, Axelrod drums and a funereal string section, you're hooked.
Pretty awesome.
