Production and recording

The main synth section of "The Rose of Jericho" was created with an Oberheim Four Voice analog synthesizer layered with Native Instruments FM8, later processed through a Stutter Edit plug in he created on Sonik Architects.[3]

"It's been a long time since I've written music that I could feature in one of my Laptop Symphony sets. Not only is this track a floor-filling monster, it really features my current electronic music inspirations - minimal beats with big strong melodic and harmonic content. This track rips the ass off a dance floor. I've played it from Korea to Brazil, and it's the biggest track I've had to play out for years."[4]

Release

Three years after the release of his fifth studio album, This Binary Universe, BT released the first part of the single through Nettwerk and Black Hole Recordings exclusively on digital music retailer Beatport seven days after its initial due date on June 2. The motif behind the June 9 release date was due to Sonifi, an innovative iPhone application created by his software company Sonik Architects.[5] Earlier in the year, BT played twelve seconds of the song on his 12 Seconds website.[6] A second release has been announced for June 23 through the same record labels. BT conducted a live interview through uStream on the day of the single's release, in which he announced a remix contest for "The Rose of Jericho" on Beatport; the winning remix would be released as part of a bundle.[7]
