The Future Sound Of London - Vertical Pig (06:44)
Available on: Lifeforms

Lyrics:
None

Notes:
The opening flute, samples, bells and water section of the track is possibly the most relaxing and blissful section of Lifeforms, which is typically coupled with the rest of the song, a distressingly paranoid piece with a cacophony of sounds coming from all sides and a pulsing, clattering rhythm. As with a lot of the second disc of Lifeforms, the piece suggests a very sinister nature about the exotic setting of the record. A slightly faster mix of the song features on the Lifeforms video with some frantic visuals which add to the dark nature of the track. The title was one of Phillip Pinn's, according to Gaz:
"Initially a book started in the mid eighties by Pinn, this refers to experiments conducted with transplanting pigs hearts into humans' bodies - a man sustained life with full faculty for twelve days and three hours he became known as the Vertical Pig"
