Amor Buffer

A sound collage, similar to the percussion on Water in Time and Space and "Immortal Man". The song is based around guitar and percussion sounds with occasional whistling and coughing. One of the rare songs Hirasawa wrote in the studio instead of in advance, he created it as fanservice because he "hadn't recorded that kind of yakuza guitar recently". All parts were written very quickly.

Versions
The guitar was recorded three different ways, which were then combined in the mix: line-in, a microphone in front of the amp and another placed close to the guitar. Seemingly this was done to capture the many nuances of picking and showcase a variety of guitar sounds.
