about

This track is about a scene from Stanley Kubrick's movie, 2001, a space odyssey. In this part, the artifical intelligence computer, called HAL-9000 revealed as he tried to kill all astronauts in the spaceship. So Dave Bowman, the last astronaut decided to switch off HAL's intelligence to stop its influence controlling the whole ship's ecosystem. During the switching off operation Dave needs to wear spacesuit as maybe HAL try to kill him providing no any oxigen. Because of the spacesuit we can hear Dave breathe during all the track. This gives so much tense to the whole song and originally for the movie scene as well. We can hear as HAL tries to convince Dave as everything is right and it have no any problems continuing the mission succesfully. In the meantime Dave pulls out computer cards from HAL's central unit, so HAL gets more and more simple minden. At a certain point HAL try to convince Dave, with some emotional impact as it states, it is AFRAID!! During Dave's action the music is heavy, a really metallic riff suggests that Dave is doing some harmful thing to HAL. When Dave finishes with the shutting down process HAL goes to stand by mode. Then he starts to "sing". This is the first thing, what was teached to it, back in the time, when it was created by his instructor, Mr Langley.
