Sound Of London - Eggshell (06:45)
Available on: Lifeforms
Lyrics:
None
Notes:
A long, graceful track, with sweeping synth strings and an ethnic
bongo-type beat, Eggshell is one of the most memorable pieces on
the album. The second half features a ticking clock which gives
the piece a very similar effect to Global Communication's 14:31.
Yet another title from the endless banter around Earthbeat during
1993:
"''I'm sick of tip-toeing on the eggshells that surround
you' Pinn spluttered to Yage referring to his increasingly
eggshell ego - 'inside the fragile eggshell mind'"
The track was penned for release as a single in 1994, but the
idea was scrapped following the then imminent release of ISDN.
