I think this one owes a certain amount to Pink Floyd, with whom I was fixated in my youth. The octave steps in the bass are certainly reminiscent of Roger Waters’ playing and the general spaceyness of the thing seems to echo their style, albeit in a more digitized format.
The piano part came first (surprise) and I liked the simplicity of the motif against the bass, so endeavoured to find sounds that would compliment without detracting from that openness. The high sustained D evolves very slowly, which allows it to hang there without becoming superfluous. The organ-like sound that comes in on the repeat has been modulated to give it a slightly gritty, swirling quality and there’s a little delay on the drums to give them a bit more cosmicity (just invented that word but must use it again).
Musically, the whole thing hangs on the relationship of everything to the D and the piano motif (doubled on plinky synth from the repeat) plays on this with repeated leading tones wanting to resolve back to the root. There’s something about the end of the ‘B’ phrase ending on the Major 7 (C#) that makes me think of Air – who in turn often make me think of Pink Floyd.
