Comments[edit]
- Narratively, this track follows the upstart of a new civilization as presented in "Transmisiones Ferox". They ultimately become "sick" and eventually die off, as presented in "Collapse".
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
- Around 1:46 a voice appears to say 'thank you'. Further unintelligible vocal samples continue throughout the track.
- At 2:15, 2:24, 2:33, & 2:42 a modulated voice appears in the left channel saying "You'll do anything"
- A looping sample appears after 2:15 saying 'six.'
- Starting at 2:15, there's a high-pitched vocal out the right channel that says "chemtrails" with a sibilant "s" when reversed.
- At 3:00, a female voice says "I have a feeling that we will have been..."
- At 3:14, a sample is heard that can also be heard at 2:42 in "Rue the Whirl" from MHTRTC.
- At 3:16 a female voice says "Thirty."
- Directly after the 'thank you' sample, a voice in the right channel may be responding with 'goodbye' or 'goodnight'. [AB]
