referencing Made Of Stone, 12", ORE T 2

Guernica is one of the most interesting production experiments I've heard. Guitar tracks running backwards are layered over guitar tracks probably running forward, though it's hard to tell in the mix (at least parts of the guitar was taken from Made Of Stone on the A-side of the record). Even some of the vocals give the impression that they were recorded backwards, even though the words are always comprehensible. The song has no drums, but is very dynamic; to me, listening to it feels like standing in a strong wind with the band playing quite some distance away.
The A-side songs are both much more conventional, though with a big difference in quality: Made Of Stone is a classic and one of The Stone Roses' best and possibly their most beautiful song, whereas Going Down is an unimportant, slightly below-average indie tune.
