I've noticed tons of "Yeah" female voice samples in Julie and Candy, when the hi-hats drop. It even goes "Yeah Yeah" together at some moment. I never heard this until I tried to record Geogaddi vinyl playing using my phone and this "Yeah!" is so clear now to me

Also in Come To Dust there's a quiet subtle sequential/arpeggio sound starts to play across all the track

I appologize if someone already posted that

Sounds more like a "Hey" to me, also the humming at the end of the song, and the doorknob faitly heard on the studio version.

There's also a humming on a part of sunshine recorder or probably just a false note that i heard.

Also in Warp10-08 there's a part at around 2:00 where the female sample stops and then slowly goes back up before kicking at full force, which i could finally hear after getting the 36mm recording.

Just noticed that the numbers in Aquarius pan using headphones.

Yes ! Sounds like a field recording from a pub with drinkers chatting and playing pool, the clack of the balls is very clear to these ears

Yes! That's what I always hear too.

I used to hear the pool ball sound, But haven't heard it in many years. Maybe my brain has tuned it out? Can I get a time stamp?

Split Your Infinities got the same double "distorted" kick that sounds like gates shutting down as in Twoism (not the EP, but the standalone song). Also the first part of Gyroscope got different tones after each drum kick, but it's probably just a random fx stuff.

I came to the same conclusion only today. Though I must say, only after also listening to this today :)

Just noticed. The 'kick drum' in Julie and Candy is the sound of a needle dropping on a vinyl record. You can even hear a little bit of crackle.

Also, after 3:08 there is what sounds like a slide projector being used. Guess they didn't stop with them after Kid for Today. You can hear this really clearly if you invert the stereo channels against eachother.

The 3:08 sound was more similar to a opening door.

this song originally was recorded in 2000-2001 if you relate to their live 10th warps party stuff, so yeah

Something like a distorted voice on Under the Coke Sign, especially at the beginning.
