Drums of the Open Sky

About this track

Late-80s new-wave dance-rock / punk-funk energy. 124 BPM, minor-key, driving pulsating synth-bass. Wall of tribal percussion (taiko toms, clanks, hand drums) with gated reverb and sharp syncopation; no guitars. Bright eastern synth hook, occasional harmonica stabs. Stacked male/female vocals, urgent verses -> soaring freedom-anthem chorus with invented chant syllables. Big instrumental drum break + synth solo.
