"Speculator" is Chris Dubrow's song from Insurge's 1996 album Power to the Poison People, and he's all over it: he wrote it, sings lead, plays guitar and pitches in on percussion and sampler. Monique Wakelin works keyboards and a second sampler and sings as well, Mattieu Macroth plays bass and sings too, Matt Richmond is on drums, and Jan Sebastian piles on more percussion, with Miguel Valenzuela sitting in as a guest percussionist.

That's a lot of hands on the rhythm for one track. Kalju Tonuma produced, recorded and mixed it, with Aaron Humphries, Louis Mitchell, Scott Rashleigh and Trent Williamson assisting on the recording.
