The title of "Stormy Monday" was taken from the first track of Lee Michaels' self-titled album, due to the organ sound of the track. "Shin Kawasaki" was inspired by the industrial landscape of Shin-Kawasaki, as seen from the Yokosuka Line. The drum loop was sampled from Terry Bozzio's drum solo on "Hands with a Hammer" from Frank Zappa's You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 3. The same loop is also used on "Bozzio" on the Last of Analog Sessions box set. The use of the Roland TR-606 drum machine and Bias EXD drum synth give the track an early 1980s techno pop sound.[2]

gollark: How do these pi formulae even work?
gollark: The crimson doesn't contrast well with dark gray, and light gray + white is weird.
gollark: Ow. No.
gollark: Also, consider a sans-serif font.
gollark: Half of them ship megabytes of JS and images and stuff for a few kilobytes of text content.
