    The title is a reference to a square in Budapest where I used to wait at 1-2AM for the night bus (number 923) to arrive quite often during the period I was writing the tune. The bus only came every hour so I would need to spend that period sitting in a bus stop. The square itself, as many others, is populated with homeless people, kebab stands, slightly irredentist drinking establishments and dirt, but what made it admirable for me is how "organic" it was - it felt it wasn't prone to trouble, everyone knew the way and routine, and it all evolved into a system.
    The track is one of the first 64k tracks to use "glitch" i.e. granular editing. A huge chunk of influence belongs to edIT's amazing first album (edIT). Also, if you think the melody reminds you of The Birthday Massacre, you are very correct.

      Oh the answer is pretty easy since I did: while at first it sounds like being done on purpose, when it gets more intense it sounds either like a mistake, an encoding issue, or something to be seen in the visuals. ;)

      @Zavie: Here's a trick question then - what would you think of the song without having seen the visuals? :)

      I somehow knew it. Unfortunately I think it doesn't work that much without the visuals.
      I wondered what would do a less glitched version (since the first ones do pretty well, compared to the end that becomes crippled), but after all it would be half hearted I guess.

      @Zavie: That would be missing the point - it's like asking a version of Smack My Bitch Up without the kickdrum :)

      Is there a glitch-free version? :-)
