Recommended Posts

Was just thinking about starting this thread the other day.

 

First thing i noticed when i heard it> 1:46 = "Pay attention..."

 

0:18 = "Solutions"

1:59 = "Synchronization"

GBIII and I had a brief discussion over on xlt. I am convinced that much of IO is the monomachine vo synth, but can definitely hear some unusually clear words especially "Pay attention". You can make phrases with the monomachine, but it is difficult and very tedious. So basically, I don't know.

someone needs to eq the shit out of it in audacity, i think

Done. But in Audition, actually. i've whacked out anything lower than about 500Hz, & cranked up the range where the words seem strongest. i can't get at the words myself, but if anyone else wants to try, go ahead.

what about these persons blip

spoken what about these persons blip

spoken to go back these persons blip

spoken to go back he's scratching his hair

? and solutions that are ? strangulation

..what about these..

...a different way to...

...if you've got what... third dimension...

0:50 question gets more complicated ... function

0:58 communicate

1:05 doesn't matter

1:10 put another

1:29 gaining power

1:31 at a disadvan-(tage?)

1:39 our opponents

1:46 pay attention

2:00 meditation

2:09 the way

2:13 our content

 

They probably just found some creepy religious, business strategy, and self-hypnosis tapes or radio/TV programs and ran them through god-knows-what delay/sample&hold/pitchshifting effects. They knew that some nerds on the internet were going to try to figure out what they were saying so they played around with the threshold between some weird illegible demon voice and recognizable snippets of loaded words that elicit apprehension when placed next to each other. It's good preparation for the next 2 tracks which are pretty apprehensive themselves, probably the most on the album.

 

The sequence/progression of the tracks on this album is brilliant. I thought this track was pretty stupid until a couple days ago when I started thinking about it in context of the other tracks. It's right where it needs to be.

 

Edit: Also - I definitely don't think it's the voice synth on the Monomachine. It can't get near that realistic, at least not the samples I've heard. I'm positive it's processed samples. But on the Elektron tip, I think the Machinedrum UW's sample mangling functions would work pretty well for the job.

Considering a lot of the comments on this forum, they'd do well not to worry about that too much... :undecided:

Man if you guys still think that the Beetles track says: "They come out at niyyyeeeeeeeeeeeetttt", I doubt I'll be trusting any of the lyrics up there.

Frændir teir á skógin ríða

Við so góðum treysti

Sóu brenna heitan eld

Og hartil fagrar kostir

Vítt um vegir gyltnir hjálmar syngja

Stíga á sínar hestar teir springa

Hoyrast kundi langen veg sum teirra sporar ringja

Vítt um vegir gyltnir hjálmar syngja
