Comments

  • According to Michael Sandison in an interview with The Guardian, "There's a palindromic structure centred around the track Collapse in the middle." [1]
  • 'Collapse' in this context is most likely a term referring to the sudden failure of a system, organization, business, etc. [2]

Samples / Lyrics

A voice saying "zero zero eight zero (nine?) can be heard at 2:00 when played at twice normal speed.

Trivia

The track is identical in structure when played forward or reversed.

I think this is about the delay between seeing a bomb drop, and hearing the explosion? And possibly using Max/MSP to create a theremin I.E.D.?

 [Cut One] ,, ,, ,,  

A thick, Black Walkie-Talkie antennae, the size of a watch band, outlines Male One’s profile, creating an unfortunate black face minstrel lip, ,, ,, ,, and this scene is freezeded! ,, ,, ,,

Tee Zero Seconds. ,, ,, ,, [Opening Foley Box Effect], ,, ,, Quote ,, ,, ,, “Trannays!” in reproaching voice of Cartman, from South Park.

Immediately following, different male voice: ,, ,, Quote. ,, ,, ,, “”Don’t worry about it.” ,, ,, ,,

[Cut Two] ,, ,, ,,

Containing no humans,, ,, the frame is filled by a black audio receiver with a similarly shaped black equalizer on top of it. Sandwiched between them is the connecting patch cable.

Two Seconds. ,, ,, ,, [Cartman voice] ,, ,, ,, Quote. ,, ,, ,, heh ,, heh ,, heh ,, heh ,, heh. in reproaching, huskie laugh. ,, ,, Sort of, like Pokey would do in the video game, “Earthbound.” ,, ,, ,,

Two Seconds. ,, ,, ,, [Third Male Voice, in Sing-Song]: ,, ,, ,, “Among us. Thank you muslims. Nû-Hamas.”

[Cut Three] ,, ,, ,,

Scene Composition. ,, ,, The frame is filled by the head profile of Doctor Arroway, staring at the monitor which is off to frame right.

Six Seconds. ,, ,, ,, [Valley girl’s apathetic, nasally voice] ,, ,, Quote ,, ,, ,, “Stop it.”

[Cut Four] ,, ,, ,,

Scene Composition. ,, ,, After having taken a step forward from about ten feet away, Doctor Arroway stares again at the audio system. The scene is again her head profile, filling less than half of the frame’s horizontal space. A black lamp stands behind her in the pencil thin wire style of modernism, creating a black triangle about one fiftieth of the frame’s space. It is positioned in much the same angle as the former blackface was, ,, ,, and because another ,, black office object recreates male one’s nose, which with the lamp forms a cheek, ,, ,, mimics his face. She will step forward, putting her nose into the crevice of the lamp’s ,, base, again outlining her profile in blackface like male ,, one’s face was by the antenna.
