2004 or so: random 35 tracks tape. no beat, but with that vocalization.
2008: WARP unreleased version. sped up.
So, my question to you is, just how many versions are there? I've seen a
2 minute version of it with no vocalizations (but probably clipped from that
website), an 8 minute version which was the WARP release but slowed down,
and these. Also, doesn't this confirm the fact that the random 35 tracks tape
is legitimate because the vocalizations were never officially released until 2008?

The piece of music from the old website that was known as 747 was later combined with whatever the song is that had those flutey vocalizations. The version that was released by Warp was the combination of both of those pieces of music. This was done as a nod to fans, acknowledging that they are aware of the tapes existence and that it is legit.
The slowed down version is unrelated and was made by a fan and posted to youtube.
This is always how I have thought of it... and I could be wrong. MDG, if you are so inclined, could you straighten this one out and provide the name of that song from the tape in the process?

I'm sorry I don't know why there are multiple versions of this track. I do know that if you listen very closely to the release version, you'll hear Freddie Mercury. See if you can spot it!
