Listen to "Engine Spinning in the Cloud" by James B. Pollack. 128 BPM, C major, Ableton Live 9.0.5, 6 Ableton sample references. "Engine Spinning in the Cloud" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Engine Summer. It points toward Engine Summer's far-future remnants of the old technological world. The source connection is literary and thematic rather than an official adaptation: John Crowley was Pollack's writing advisor at Yale, and the title system treats the catalog as a set of linked rooms inside that influence.
