I think a good deal of that mystery is in Martin Hannett's arid production. There seems to be some sort of bleed through from the vocal track onto the other tracks, and I'm guessing he had mics placed far away from the instruments on axis.

I get the same transcendent quality from Pawn Hearts, especially on We Go Now. I imagine that's what it sounds like as your consciousness dissolves into death. It's unlike anything I've ever heard. I've listened hundreds of times, and I still get scared.
