Theme For Tetsuo: The Bullet Man
This is the only known version. Opening with approximately a minute and a half of buzzing and sawing machine loops interrupted by quiet piano, an A/B structure begins. The A section is characterized by a four-on-the-floor bass drum pulse layered with distorted guitar loops, while the B section consists of the piano theme played on brass synthesizers. Brief noise loops bridge the return to the A section, this time extended with variations. The piano returns to cut off this section and reintroduce the chord progression of the B section, which also repeats with variations until suddenly cutting off at the end of the phrase.
