The track later turned up on the compilation Substance and has become a cult favorite for how it bridges their post‑punk atmosphere with the darker, cinematic side of their synth period—extra on‑theme today since one of those samples comes from 2001, which premiered on this date back in 1968.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
