A combination of techno and country music sensibility, this cut uses a bunch of acoustic guitars, a pedal steel, delayed synths, strings, a drum machine and a church bell to convey the tedium of a desert plain - until :19, when a storm passes over us (represented by marcato string hits and drum accents - and disappears @:30). The dust settles, but then the maelstrom returns @:51 with a more urgent, emotional tone this time as we watch our farms get destroyed by tornadoes and hailstones. A South Western-tinged cut also good for technology stories with human aspects or plagues of locusts, flies, slaying of the firstborn, etc. 97 bpm (Amin)
