One of my favorite parts about this song, besides the lucid guitar work, is the little breathing effects. At some points it reminds me of an acid trip or something similar. It definately gives the impression of someone who has reverted to an animalistic perception, u can hear a frantic set of breaths when someone enters the room, or leaves, or asks him questions. it reminds me (1st person) of someone on acid noticing something out of the corner of their eye, something startling. It's kind of hard to explain, but it definately adds to the dialogue. It gives it a quality, plot and setting that translates incredibly well, for me anyway. Definately a psychadelic experience.

The breathing from this track also (as I hear it) shows up again at the beginning of Intension, furthering the idea that at the very least LK, Rosetta and Intension are parts to a whole (much like disp, refl, triad). Personally, I think it continues on to RIght in Two as well and I guess Viginti would have to be included as well....

The breathing effect sounds the best in headphones. Kind of jumps from one side of your head to the other. Once you get used to it, of course- I jumped the first time I heard it.
