David Gilmour: For some reason, we decided to do a double track of the bass...The first bass is me. A bar later, Roger joins in on the other side of the stereo picture. We didn't have a spare set of strings for the spare bass guitar, so the second bass is very dull sounding (laughs). We sent a roadie out to buy some strings, but he wandered off to see his girlfriend instead.

David Gilmour: It just sounded very violent and, you know, we like a joke as much as anyone else...It's an old thing for us, 'I'm Going To Cut You Into Little Pieces' and 'Be Careful With That Axe, Eugene' - They're similair sort of things, aren't they?

Roger Waters: I think that the simplest sound effects are often the best. For example, just the sound of wind at the beginning of 'Cut You Into Little Pieces' is bloody effective..
