The name of the track comes from a hypothetical type of planet. (None have been observed in nature... yet.) It's a gas giant with a metal core, where all the gas has been stripped away.

As I listen, I can see the waveforms on a 1950s green trace oscilloscope.

I start to enjoy the intermittent sharp spitty tones.
