What I'm thinking about is when a song builds tension, usually at the beginning or the end, by having the individual instruments come in one at a time to layer parts. Examples are the intros of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock
" and Ghost's "Spirit
" (at around the 0:33 mark), and the outro of Nine Inch Nails' "Came Back Haunted
" (pick it up around 3:40).
