So I know the topic of morse code hidden in Tomorrow's Harvest has come up before but recently I was listening to RFTD and realized the static in the beginning could be morse code. Its not exactly in time with the kick drum and has always struck me as odd. We know there are numbers hidden in various places on the record in different ways and I am still convinced that there is a 36 digit number hidden throughout in various ways and its to be entered into the Cosecha-Transmissions site. I know there is some disagreement about that but that's still my inclination.

So I am still trying to figure out which number is encoded in RFTD. It sounds like - - - . . . but that does not correspond to a number. Hmmm. The number 8 is - - - . . but I am hearing 3 dots before it repeats.

I suppose it could be pareidolia on my part but it seems appropriate given what we know about this record so far. I reckon each track has numbers or a single number embedded in it in some way. We just have to piece them all together.

Thoughts?

Yes, absolutely, there's more in to the album messages, this is even more apparent after they killed their site, but http://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ still on and still shooting those symbols to me, of anyone not familiar with this, i explained it here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10554&hilit=http%3A%2F%2Fcosecha+transmisiones.com%2F&start=20

Hmm... I am going to have to look more into this symbol thing because when put the morse code that I hear in RFTD into a translator is returns a colon :

Very weird....I think...

If I was mdg right now I might consider saying:

'The brothers can't bear to watch you to waste your time any longer, please go outside'

But I am not mdg, and maybe you aren't wasting your time.

Still, spring is almost upon us. Get gardening.
You could have yourself an illegal stockpile of herbs and spices by this time in september.

I regret saying that, I apologise. Go about your business and find us some morse coded messages. If any of you do find a whole number at the end of this trail, see what happens if it is used with cosecha transmisiones. I would be intrigued.

No worries. I am definitely cautiously optimistic and I realize that I could end up down a rabbit hole of many wasted hours so I have not committed much time to this yet. Its one of those things I need to figure out how to work on while I am sleeping. love waking up with the solution to a problem. It feels so efficient. :-)

Noticing a weird similarity (f**king unlikely) between the animated 'chasing the sun' part of the official video and the opening crawl for Quantum Leap having very similar footage despite obviously not being the same.

Made a short video with the music swapped for each, kind of funny in reality.

So I think I accidentally discovered part of the real meaning and inspiration for the art direction of the Reach for the Dead music video/ TH promotional campaign.

Considering this revelation, I suspect that the glowing orb/sun that splits into 3 may represent fission or Trinity.

Nice one, they're definitely too similar to be a coincidence.

Even the audiotrack has strong similarities, with that particular gentle but emotionally provocative drone track.

It is amazing on all fronts. Tho, I lately enjoy different kind of tunes from TH, Sick Times and Cold Earth probably my favorite, but RTHD always has a place in my heart, was a best BOC tune for a long time,

still remember how I was listening to it for the first time..late May, the summer almost here, just feelling this vibes somewhere out in the park was something that still I keeping, good work BOC!

and I love how this track overall sound, it's starts with that rhythmic drum and almost goes in to "beat box" at the end

I don't really want to read through 28 pages, so sorry if this has already been discussed or the sample has been found.

That begs the question, "How did they know?"


It wasn't that difficult to figure out - Trump is the Hollywood celebrity that the disaffected blue collar culture in this country views as the embodiment of success, all shiny things, bluster, golden thrones.

It was only a matter of time for the Fox brainwashing to kick in, to say "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" enough to blame "the other" for the loss of their jobs, not automation and corporate greed. Now they are just as disenfranchised as other groups in this country have been for hundreds of years.

Speaking of that, I remember watching the Wizard of Oz when I was 5 years old and the scene where they go to see the Wizard sort of seems like the type of bamboozle that the uneducated and naive would fall far, and Trump is the embodiment of that. I figured out not to trust someone like Trump from a kids movie when I was that young, what's everyone else's problem?

What's more fascinating is to me that this album also predicted Russia's successful undermining of Western values and their infiltration into our government. Crazy stuff.

What do we think about the "listen" sample being good ole Donald Trump?

As far as I know, the sample has never been found. To be fair, it is one word and could be from anything. To me, it sounds like Trump and I had it in mind that I'd heard him say that so many times that I am convinced it is him. Others disagreed and it turned into a shitstorm. Better let it be.
