This song features Mark E. Smith of the Fall and includes some Morse code at the beginning. After Mark asks “Where’s North from here”, the code answers “Plastic Beach” which is the name of the album.
“I’m really glad we managed to get Mark E. Smith on the record. I’m not sure he felt the same, but y'know. He wanted to do his part facing north. ‘Which way’s north from here?’
We used his question as a little intro, kind of like what we did with Shaun Ryder on ‘DARE’. Sometimes the greatest moments are those little mistakes that you catch in the mix when you’re just warming up.
Like ‘Punk’ on the first album, and ‘White Light’ on ‘Demon Days’, this is the album’s rawkus section of chaos. Every album’s got to have one.“ – band member Murdoc Niccals in an interview with NME
