Comments

• Telepathy is the supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses. It was a major field of research for scientists during the early 20th century and into the Cold War. Upton Sinclair also conducted telepathy experiments in the 30's.

• The audio distortions on the vocals of this track may have been modeled after the reported auditory distortions present in Microwave auditory effect , which was a facet of telepathy research during the Cold War. This auditory phenomenon was used to transmit sounds directly from a microwave emitter into the human brain. Researchers described that the auditory distortions inherent to this process caused "the sounds [to resemble] those emitted by persons with an artificial voice box."
• When played backwards, the voice counting in the track can be heard to say "This is (is) the end of the Earth.. for now."

Samples / Lyrics

0:04 "Testing. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. (oops) Up and down, quite a thing [while I'm counting?]." (background) six, six, nine.

0:20: (Second voice) "On repeat. Give me a count." (also sounds like "you can't")

0:23 "The stuff that they know, the one on the right and then turn it up, while I'm counting. One... three, four, fi-ive, six, seven, eight, through ni- (garbled)"

0:43: (Second voice) "It's too loud." (Pitched down) "Plaid."

0:45 "Well, this is quite pleasant. Let's play it back and see what it sounds like."

(Second and third voice) "Could I get the one voice?", "Nervous!", "Don't be nervous."

"One, two, three, four, fi-ive, six, six, seven."

• After the last number you can hear a quiet "listen" (same as in "Reach for the Dead").

Trivia

In one sequence, the number six is repeated in the background, the result sounding more like "666".
