Just done an hour or so ago. The "Walkman" bit of the title is a reference to the sound of the beat (made with a '70s home organ beat emulator) which I then put through a reverb loaded with an impulse response made from walkman over-the-head style headphones - from the outside of them, obviously. I love that sound, although it was always irritating to hear on the tube or bus. It is now somewhat a thing of the past, because earbuds don't leak in the same way.
I hoped that the whole thing has something of that '90s feel, like a twisted nod to the likes of Enigma (who were truly horrible), with their liturgical choir sounds and programmed beats - "chillout" bollocks for the end of history. I've been thinking a lot about the '90s lately, a "low, dishonest decade" if ever there was one.There may be more on this..
