Note 1
We used the animal planet and tribal music sample as a bridge between Two Thousand Sunsets and Dread. You can hear the sample at the end of Two Thousand Sunsets.
The "killer insects" bit with wierd music was a perfect seque into Dread, a creepy song about someone rising from the dead to enact revenge.
