It is now official...

...I have WAY too much time on my hands. You know that part of "Atom Heart 243.5" with the distorted backwards speech? ("...by tongues licking a lie (nonsense goes here) death rode...") Well, I reversed it and made an MP3 of it.

I believe Niklas once said that it was a bunch of Swedish swearing. This is what I can make out at the end: "... sju rövare åtta nio tio?" which translates to "seven robbers eight nine ten" so you're not missing out on any profound poetry here

Ah well, Swedes, feel free to help figure out what he says so I can sleep again

Indeed Phyre, you have way too much time on your hands..but this was well spent I would say. Havn´t thought about this in a long time and it was great that you brought it up.

The voice belongs to Fredrik Johansson and he is intoxicated as hell during this. For some unknown reason we decided to put some kind of noise in this part of the song and while only Fredrik and the other Fredrik(Nordström) was there they (you all know what else happended when they were alone together right?) did this little improv describing various sexual encounters and their sleazy details. We had a good laugh the following day and decided to keep it..I´m sorry I cannot remember nor hear the exact words but for the sake of decency in this forum I think it´s for the best.

Cheers!

it seems atom heart is a song full of secrets.
you must have had a wonderful time indeed recording it.

however, a couple of threads out there already show how this board is getting used to sex and alcohol topics. we still lack drug abuse, though.

i never, ever will lack drug abuse

The mp3 link doesn't work anymore, but maybe some of you have the right computer equipment to play sound files backwards. Can anybody make out what Johansson is saying?

 

[Nt3N]

interesting stuff! O____O

 

[Kovenant84]

Wow. Where the hell did you even find this thread?

Best DT song creation strategy ever...

I love bands where song building looks like:

1: Get Drunk
2: ??????
3: Songs!

I'd forgotten Erik's old nickname was phyre, but then who was that other swedish biologist guy? thought he was phyre.
