GS: "One of probably only 2 pieces from these sessions where the title directly inspired or influenced the music. I believe Hyam was responsible for the title. This and "View" were actually recorded in sequence."
HS: "I used mallets on the drums, trying for a gamelan-like feel. (The gamelan is an indonesian instrument consisting of a number of tuned gongs that are played with mallets.) Instead of the interplay between Greg and I being directly in sync like it is in "The View Is Better From The Top Of The Food Chain", "Moving Towards Kyoto" has a distinctly contrapuntal feel to it, with our melodic lines overlapping, going in and out of phase with each other. The master tape has a glitch at the beginning of this song that cuts-off the first note-there's nothing wrong with the CD or with your player.
