The song is a tribute to Polish composer, Henryk Gorecki (b. 1933) and was
inspired by his post-classical outings. Andy sampled and rearranged parts
of Gorecki's work (possibly his Symphony #3, his most renouned piece) and
layered them into the track. It can be heard in the background, and I'm
still trying to figure out exactly which bits were used (If anyone knows,
please post it). Supposedly, this track took forever to create, because
of it's complexity, and when remix single time came, the band didn't want
the song touched, hence no actual remix of "Gorecki" on the release.
