The minimalism of the instruments is what allows such heavy amounts of reverb to be put upon many of the focal points of the track without significantly muddying the mix. The vocals also return in this section, and are significantly cleaner than in the verses, but still treated with an overwhelming amount of reverb. Throughout various passages in the piece there is a heavily LFO’d synth wash, buried in the mix, which blends in with the reverb laden atmospherics to create a feeling of unease. In the background, there is also a subtle recording of an indecipherable conversation being held. Under these chord changes is a simple ground bass, buried in the mix, generated by a synthesiser.

These are the only two “drum” based rhythmic elements used in the track, which adds to the sparse atmosphere. The kick drum then accompanies it, which is EQ’d with emphasis on the lows, but is very clean in terms of spatial effects.
