Win Fall C.D. 2080

Commentary

< Post in progress >

Depending on the format, this song goes by various names. The CD version is titled “C.D. Win Fall 2088 AD”. The version that was the b-side of the “Jerusalem” single is titled “Acid Priest 2088”. I’ve adopted the original LP track title as the canonical title. The vocals seem to be sampled and layered, and the words are consequently very difficult to transcribe. It could be regarded as an instrumental.
