Well, if that's the case, then Morris must have added repitition to the stew, because the first three tracks definitely repeat. The last track isn't repetitive per se, (not in the sense that there's a riff or a rhythm track playing), but there are definitely repeating elements. If you know "Tal Coat," from Eno's 'On Land,' you might have an idea of what I'm getting at, although "Under Water" doesn't sound anything like the Eno track in terms of texture.
