It was 'tzaddi' that has the (somewhat slower) bassline similar to that of M.A.R.R.S-'pump up the volume'. Decent track, but nothing stands above the original. I also noticed another track on the album that has the same chord progressions as the Giorgio Moroder soundtrack to SCARFACE from 1983. That's what makes this album so unique. We're not so uptight about which track is better, trying to remember the track titles, what is jungle, what is black dog-esque, etc, etc. You have to just "listen" to the album as a whole; just like Eno's MUSIC FOR FILMS/MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS albums. This is quintessential listening music, for those who haven't gotten it yet. Derek btw, you can definitely tell WHO was the mastermind behind some of the slower, more "eastern" tracks on Temple of Transparent Balls, Bytes, and Spanners from this album too! Although Ed has had his "fair share" with the "Balil" pseudonymn!!!!
