Tubular Bells Quote?
editTowards the end of the song - just before the sound effects of the shutting doors and siren - there's a tune of power chords played on a string-effect synth. Am I right in saying that it's the opening piano riff of Tubular Bells without the repeated F-note?
You mean the stuff at approximately 6:35? No, that sounds nothing like Tubular Bells to me, but maybe I'm missing it. Crazydiamond1to9 06:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- I probably gotta hear the Tubular Bells riff and the riff at 6:23 to make a conclusive judgement, but from just listening to the song, I didn’t think it sounded anything like Tubular Bells. KevinML (talk) 10:35, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Video
editDoes anybody know where the video for this song can be found? -albrozdude 03:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
It's on YouTube...are we allowed to link to YouTube?
There's already a link to the YouTube video (or at least, to one of them). --200.118.217.125 19:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- The article shouldn't be linking to the video on youtube as per WP:C#Linking_to_copyrighted_works. I left the lyrics link, but it should be removed to. AxiomShell 14:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Track Length
editWhere did the track length come from? My CD version doesn't have that length, and I can't find a single version on Musicbrainz that has 7.31 either. [1] Ged UK (talk) 14:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
The songs meaning
editThe songs title could mean just about anything, e.g. the society as a whole, not particularly music industry. Is this a new custom in wikipedia – removing {{fact}} without providing a source? I believe not. With respect, I put the template back.
Detroit techno
editDetroit techno could take some influences from this track, at the end of the track, there is a part wich remind me String of Life by Rhythim is Rhythim, don't you think so?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.37.49.93 (talk) 22:23, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Read Adorno or better yet, Walter Benjamin. You'll quickly see where this stuff originates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.76.179 (talk) 03:18, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Can we get a source on those genres?
editThere's barely any rock in song itself. The bulk of the song is synths and a guitar strumming that appears later on, all of this sandwiched in sound effects. I am not sure how to classify it, but it almost certainly is not as "progressive rock". 201.190.18.190 (talk) 14:54, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
