Instruments: Oscillators, Pulse Pro Jr. Drum Set + Hi-Hats, Kramer Focus 111S, Hands, Feet, and a Chair, Kramer Baretta 5-string Bass (plunk, slap, & slide), Clock Chime, Sofia Mari SM3448 Accordion.

Not a far cry from the version mixed the previous day, this is a stripped-down mix with no acoustic guitar and only one vocal sample from the archives (my friend Andrew saying "Alright, I think we've got everything we need here..."). The intro is also different from Version 1 — instead of a glowing, ambient oscillator sound, here we have a gritty, low buzz that hangs for a few seconds and then jolts into the guitar riff. Oscillators come back for revenge during the last repetition and then taper off at the end. A sample taken from a chiming clock in my house is also snuck into a couple spots.
