Chromakey Dreamcoat
Running time	5:47
Appears on	The Campfire Headphase

Samples/Lyrics

• There appears to be a sample of a seagulls call at around 2:40 and again at 3:10. However these sound different from those sampled on "Happy Cycling".
• There are also voices in the coda of this track. Between 5:16 and 5:35 is a recording of a woman talking and laughing. She laughs (5:20), says what sounds like "You know, this won't last..." (5:22-5:24), "I didn't like ... that before (?) ... times(?)" (5:28-5:30), laughs (5:32). It sounds like a sentence of some sort but a lot of words drop out. These voices are sampled from an early 1970's anti-drug social hygiene film. [1]
  • The full quote is as follows (beginning at 5:16):

"Woman: ...two weeks ago for the Christmas formal. [laughs]
Man: For the Christmas formal?! That's a fuckin' sacrament!
Woman: Just so, you know, 'cause the Christmas formal last year was so funny. I thought well, maybe... I didn't like mescaline before but I had such a good time. [laughs] It was just so funny. [laughs]"

— Social Seminar: Tom, 10:00

• There are unidentified "samples" of computer game like noises near the end of the track.
• Bibio's track "All The Flowers" has a strange similarity to the guitar samples on Chromakey Dreamcoat. It is known that Bibio's album, "Fi" was highly influential in the making of The Campfire Headphase as well as both artists are admirers of each other's work.

Technical References

• "Chroma key" (or color key) is a technique used in video production to swap in a separate signal source over a particular chrominance range across the source video, e.g. in bluescreen cinema effects.

Cultural References

• The title also seems to be a reference to a musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber called "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".
