I have had far more requests for this song than any other song off 
Obsolete.  It is a memorable tune, and pretty catchy.  The main riff 
(Riff A) reminds me of "Replica" in a weird way; if you look at it 
without playing it, it doesn't look like it will sound very good.  But 
if you play it, it actually does sound pretty good.  

Technically, this is a typical Fear Factory song, but I would try very 
hard to make Riff A mold well with the drums (if you play this live or 
in rehearsals).  Make sure your timing is sharp.  Have fun!

Tune all strings down a perfect fifth (a, D, G, C)
