[Interlude] What makes cancer tenacious? The moon rules the fluids Including the inner juices of human beings That which assimilates and feeds the body So the crab feeds his astral brain Assimilating and distributing all he receives slowly Until it becomes a part of him
This is the first full song on DJ Shadow’s critically acclaimed, Endtroducing…
This song starts off with George Marsh speaking on music and how it shaped his life. Shadow uses this to speak on the power of music. This song has a very powerful and other-worldly feel to it, like most of the album.
