Contents
Comments[edit]
- The "age of Capricorn", to followers of astrology, is an upcoming astrological age that will follow the current "age of Aquarius" and begin around the year 4000 AD.[1] Astrologists theorise that humans, by this time, will be "born clairvoyant" and that the concept of death will disappear as humans "will be in constant contact with the worlds beyond."[2]
- The mentions of "Mabus" likely refer to the writings of famed astrologer and seer Nostradamus. Followers of Nostradamus claim that the name "Mabus" refers to the Antichrist[3], and several attempts have been made to link this name with well-known figures, from Barack Obama to Osama Bin Laden. The sample of a man rearranging the letters of "Usama" to "M a a u s" then to "Mabus" is almost certainly a reference to this.[4]
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
- From 0:49 onwards, a Nostradamus prophecy theorist (potentially John Hogue) performing anagrammatic analysis on the name "Mabus", linking Osama Bin Laden through an alternative spelling "Usama".
U-S-A-M-A
Mabus, Mabus
M double A-U-S
U, uh
M-A-B-U-S
- A possible source for the “Mabus” sample may be a 2004 Art Bell episode featuring John Hogue, specifically two sections, one being about a 27-year war tied to the Antichrist, and another about possible Mabus candidates, which hogue ranks Bin Laden in the top three, hogue spells “M-A-B-U-S” and “M-Double A-U-S” at 1:29:58 and 1:31:33, although hogue doesn’t spell “U-S-A-M-A” or “U-Uh” in the episode, the spelling can be made through Audio Stitching using audio from other moments to make similar spellings.
- From 1:25 onwards, call and response choral singing, sampled from Door of My Heart (A Chant by Paramhansa Yogananda)
Just for once, come to me
I look for Thee night and day
- From 1:58, a prayer from the end of televangelist Jack Van Impe's 1990 video tape "A.D. 2000: The End?".[5]
I am a sinner
In Your name, I pray this
All have sinned
You bore my sin
You shed Your blood for me
To cleanse me
I receive You
And Your shed blood
For the remission of my sins
Come into my heart
Save me now
Help me to be ready for Your return
- At 2:55 and 3:16, a deep raspy voice, possibly TTS, saying "Capricorn".
- During the transition to "Father And Son" faint sounds of water leaking can be heard.
Trivia[edit]
- This is the third track in Boards of Canada's discography that is named after a zodiac symbol, after "Aquarius" and "Gemini".
