I noticed towards the end of Palace Posie as the song begins to wind down, as the main keyboard pattern fades, in the right channel, there is a muffled bassy riff of opposite notes that the right channel is playing in full spectrum... it sort of sounds rubbery and deliberately hidden in the low-mid band range... now I cannot un-hear this haha...

There's what sounds like a child singing at 5:18 of In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country. There's also some buzzy delayed thingies that are really low in the mix and start coming in around 5:27. It sounds like children's breaths are mixed into the track that start at 0:00 and are played throughout the track. They kind of mimic the rhythm of the slide projector noises (or whatever they are) that support the rhythmic section in Kid For Today.

Boards of Canada - Aquarius.

At some point I started hearing a voice saying "Orange" here and there.

There's a high pitched buzzing that fades in and out all throughout "One Very Important Thought". Never knew why I didn't realize that until a couple days ago.

also in sixtyten whenever the "Whatcha doin/watcha" sample comes in right after there's a very faint sound of either talking, tape of the "watcha" sample whirring back or another part of the original song that the "watcha" part was sampled from.
