This
would be the third different piece of music I heard from Underwater Escape from
the Black Hole, as the first was a cassette and the second was a split with I
Like You Go Home. There are, from what I can best tell, three
different sort of sections to this piece, “Remain Constant”, and as such, if
this was going to be on cassette it would somehow have to have a Side A, Side B
and Side C.
When
this starts, it is a chorus of spatial ambient “ahhhhhh’s” that gives way to a
loop of dee-doo’s. This serves as act
one in some ways, as it begins to pick up the pace after that. It becomes almost 8bit for the second act, as
there are cymbal beats and just a whole lot of beats in general.
Somewhere
in what I would call the second act, as the pace is rising, it resembles an
instrumental version of Panic at the Disco or My Chemical Romance. It definitely takes on a large amount of
emergency static before settling into the third act.
Our
story concludes with Doctor Who like tones that mesh with the pounding of Nine
Inch Nails. This somehow becomes
uplifting, almost like FNL, before taking a relaxing turn and ending on what is
much more peaceful of a note than the middle of the piece but somewhat back to
where we started.
I attribute this to being somewhat like going
up a hill, reaching the top, then going back down again. But
given the name, I think it only seems fitting that you think of this as being a
circle, the true form of forever being constant, and well, by the end we truly
have come full circle.
In the spirit of remaining constant, one of
the best things I think you can do with this piece of music as well is just put
it on repeat to enhance the overall effects.
Playing it through from beginning to end is fine, but that repeat button
makes it so much better.
