Valotonin: Elaborated further on the morse code discoveries. Moved picture of 1970s airliner away from the text that was quite messily wrapped around it (at least on my browser it was)

 * Near the end of this song is an aural collage of shortwave radio noise. Morse, teletype, and various data signals can be heard including a radio modem (called the Harris RF-5710) used by hobbyists and naval military services. The Morse code heard at 05:20 decodes to "CQ de GM3DP" (a Scottish callsign). A further noted Morse call-sign was interpreted as 'GM3DSK', discovered by [http://Twoism.org Twoism] user '[http://www.twoism.org/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2777&sid=452167b9dc34dbd71cfd63a0128012fa akrotiri]'. He also noted that despite a search for the owner of the call-sign initially yielding no results, when removing the 'M' (allegedly a callsign extension used in Scotland), the call-sign can be traced back to the name 'Ra Lord'. It has been speculated that as 'Ra' (Egyptian sun god) takes on the form of a bird in mythology, it relates neatly back to the title of the track - 'Slow This Bird Down'. A second check of UK records showed the GM3DSK callsign to belong to an individual with the initials R. A. Lord, suggesting the connection is pure coincidence.
