The Ability To Fold Space

from Sound, Songs; Nonlinear by Nemo

about

The master 4 track cassette was damaged during a mixdown, and the sound of the wrinkled tape, and the machine (and Nemo, as it was happening) struggling to compensate, were all left on the final version, and used as part of the song (working around it, while completing the track).

This track was still assembled in the "sound-songs-style" of using sounds and dialog, to make music out of non-musical elements, but was also one of the early tracks to have some of the source film"s music be a part of the "sound-song" (Nemo didn't define them specifically as "sound collages", which he felt were often lacking in cohesion or consistent sense of rhythm, while the sound-songs were started from more of a rock/pop songwriting approach, replacing one sound for the drums, another for a "bass", and so on, and not always obvious)

David Lynch's Dune was the original source for the sounds and dialog heard in this song.
There are some elements that exist from the Japanese laserdisc "extended version" that David Lynch disowned, so the directing credit for that version was credited to the fictional "Alan Smithee", but those elements are relatively few
