The first minute of the Pita track sounds like a standard indie rock tune if you reverse it. The choir (synth?) is vaguely Morricone-esque but the acoustic guitar isn't.

I'm on drone on so I'll ask if you don't gte any answers.

I think this is the one gate album I had but have probably sold it. That Pita rec was a keeper tho'.

Wait, what acoustic guitar?

if you reverse it

^... The beginning sounded like something played backwards so I used Audacity to reverse it. And lo behold - it's a melody played on guitar, a kind of flute, and a choir or synth or whatever.

hmm, could you mp3 that Wintermute?

YNF, I was never granted access to the Dead C yahoo list.

I heard the Pita song, and it's bugging the hell out of me because it's backwards, and I can't reverse it in my head - it sounds like something from "Maddalena", but maybe not the arrangement from the film - I can't tell without finding something to flip it around. It's more confusing than I thought it would be. I can probably have an answer for you in a day or so, though.

Yeah - it's the main theme from "Maddalena".

I remember I was at some show and a dj put this on at the end of the night when everyone was leaving, and all the true freaks who were standing outside ran back in at breakneck speed to I guess (in addition to hearing it) just stand around and talk about the track with one another

I bet Peter was responsible for the John Barry sample in the Fenn O'Berg Theme too. 💔
