* The girl speaking at about 1:22 and 2:44 sounds (to me) like the same one who speaks all the way through all 3 live recordings of BoC at ATP, Lighthouse, and Warp - which adds to suspicions that these are recordings of people talking at the the Hexagon Sun studio, as the title of the track would suggest.

* Amongst the sounds of people talking discussed above, it sounds like someone is playing the N64 game Mario Party 2, as the ‘back’ noise is heard several times (for example, at 1:25) within the other voices. The sound can be heard in game at 1:48 in this video: https://youtu.be/ZwdDOlvfLBc. Alternatively this could be one of the girls exclaiming "what?!".
