There then follows around 10 seconds of black and silence, before tone/GLITS kicks in.
Our clip ends soon after the tone starts. Tone would normally be played out for 2 minutes before the overnight shutdown of the transmitter network is triggered.
Gay Purree is not featured. It is Faust, Boxing Day 1995.
