At 2:15, 2:24, 2:33, & 2:42 I'm hearing a male voice saying "You'll believe anything" (at least that's what I'm hearing).

SPOILERS, HIDDEN MESSAGES

Here's a few things I've managed to pick out via Audacity after slowing down.

At 1:46 "Thank you!"

As of 2:15 - "That's why…" *incomprehensible* "…cause time moves so quickly" repeated…

When reversed 1:30 from the end "Dangerous" Repeating 4 times via right channel (something else is said via left channel as a counterpoint but incomprehensible for the moment)

Yep, to me it sounds like Gollum saying 'Dangerous'…

Filthy Bagginses!

First of all, this song is nice.

Few thoughts, doesn't it sound like they are cutting after the beat comes in? I don't know much about specific production techniques but it sounds so similar to a DJ just cutting over an electro track. Surprised this hasn't been mentioned.

Also, and I need to listen a couple more times, but even before the beat/ cutting sounds come in there seems to be an extremely, extremely low male voice repeating something with a noticeable ring modulation effect on it. It almost sounds like its just an after effect of the track but I'm pretty sure it's a voice just absolutely abliterated and buried. I'm going to listen to it a couple more times so I can find exactly where I hear it start.

Ok, so yeah I hear it again straight away on first relisten. It starts after the intro when the beat comes on. It's hard for me to describe the sound other than its like just the absolute lowest frequencies of a voice. I really don't think it could possibly be deciphered in any of our lifetimes.

It gets harder to hear once the beat starts getting more complex but it repeats over and over for maybe the entire track.

For whatever reason, this song reminds me so much of "Skyliner."

What does the voice at 1:45 say? Is it just "H"?

2:30 - "Come and play anyway"

Youre sick, but he's asking this. Creepy as fuck!
Also, relates to *above* about "not much time."

**off to listen again**

Yeah, that segment forwards, in the left channel I'm hearing "You'll believe anything". Backwards, right channel, I definitely hear "Dangerous".

It seems like it alternates between the samples on the right and left, and there's a third that's in the center...but I can't decipher it forwards or backwards.

Return of the fret squeak from Campfire! Loving the intense detail that was missing from the streamed and leaked versions.

Ok so, I tried to isolate that deeply burried vocal sample. This is the best I could do.

Left ear: "you'll do anything" ?

But I like "you'll believe anything" too. Both sinister as hell.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I thought this was pretty awesome.

At 2:36 there's a high pitched vocal out the right channel that's very noisy, and I think it says "chemtrails" when reversed. Here's a slowed-down snippet that helped me hear it:

Let me know what you think! What do you hear?
