One listen for this one.
I think that some of this is alright and some of it not. I got caught up on trying to describe a part which led to me falling behind a fair bit and then struggling to catch up. I think I could’ve written more had I allowed myself a second listen but I didn’t and so… yeah.

Massive Attack’s “Heat Miser” is from Protection.

I hope you enjoy.

Keys seem to rain on down and bounce whilst something sounding like air being moved repeats. Soon a beat appears and strikes steady, and it’s not long after that when the keys stop and change into something else more “low” and relaxed and soft. Perhaps here a space is implied in the slinky coolness, but it’s hard to tell.

Soon a bassy pulse plays out as a melody for keys to move along and flicker off. Eventually that pulse rises and sound changes, and that coolness remains. In it there’s an edge, though not a sharpness. Perhaps it is menace, or some sort of getting the upper hand.

The sound loops back to that move and flicker, but there is added context, and it continues on, and that menace remains lurking, creeping, reaching in and succeeding but not quite taking over.

The song returns to when it was raining keys, air and a beat and soon the beat drops away, and the keys slow down and stop and the song ends.
