Under Ice - Kate Bush

- All accompaniment done through Fairlight CMI

- Lead vocal has low tessitura, and mostly limited range

- Sustained vocal sample at the end - has a moving frequency filter to create Mongolian throat-singing effect

- Through composed

- Least conventional in structure

- Modal A minor

- Ends on ambigious Asus2 chord

- All the chords are from the A minor natural scale

- Repeated chord sequence

- Movement of thirds prominent

- Bass pedal throughout

- Call and response used -between lead/backing vocals in outro

- Ostinato

- Restricted melodic range - perhaps reflected the constricted nature of being 'Under Ice' 

- Quasi pentatonic shapes

- Short, staccato phrases

- Begins slowly and accelerates

- Rit. in the last 4 bars

- 'Obessive' crotchet pulse

- Rhythmic displacement causes cross-rhythms over 2 bars
