Let Forever Be is rich with sound. For me it conjures images of bright warm red and green, like being pulled through a garden choked with flowers and tall grass up past your head, or standing under a dozen hoses gushing red and green jello.
I love the way it cleverly layers samples played both forwards and backwards. Reversing samples morphs their exponentially decaying tails into devious entrances, causing them to creep into your awareness instead of announcing their arrival. You get the sense of hearing something you didn't hear before, like when a noisy air conditioner suddenly turns off. The whole song is designed to confuse and it's easy to get lost in it.
To top it all off, the music video is incredible. Have I ever seen one this good?
To quote a comment on the song's Last.fm page, "This is the song i want playing when I awaken from a drug induced coma".
I'm pleased that Amazon has the MP3 and so does iTunes.

Can you spot all of them? You'll have to have a pretty large monitor or have a clever right-clicking finger to do it. ;p
