Charles Fort was the man. Awesome legacy. I could read Fortean Times all day.

Also re: the original topic, maybe it's not influence so much as recognition. When I first listened to BOC it brought back a lot of my old interests.

A toque is neccessary for me though man, Washington state uniform.

I actually can't think of anything I haven't been influenced by. A short list though: a lifetime of camping, numbers stations/general radio noise, field recordings, overheard conversations, cryptography, Forteana and other mysteries, travelling, people and their ways.

I am very appreciate of the ...

mechanismj, I saw that picture last night and it's the one that stood out to me as reminding me of the song. I get a really urban derelict feeling with that whole ep (with the exception of Dayvan Cowboy). Most everything else they've done reminds me of nature but I get a distinct urban feeling from ...

They don't have them where I live or where I grew up but I went to them all the time on road trips. They're always full of characters. I was at one in Arkansas at 2am and ended up playing a game of chess with a teenage goth with vampire teeth.

There food does make you feel dirty but that's part of ...

Hmm. There was this weird guy on a Nick Jr. show who lived in a log out in the middle of the woods. He use to play the guitar and sing a lot... in fact that's the show that taught me how to whistle... which I then forgot how to do. Hah.

Fred Penner's Place? I always wanted to go out to his place ...

Skyliner is my favorite track off this. It reminds me of when I was driving up to the rainforest in Washington on a really gray day and passing through all these depressing logging towns and then emerging into places of beautiful wilderness.

Wow, it seems like forever ago I got this. I was in one of the worst depressions of my life when I first heard it and now it sounds so different to me.

I love the direction they went with this album with all the organic sounds but I still feel like it hasn't sunk into me completely yet. I need to ...

Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Virgin Suicides definitely. Visually stunning with something sinister lurking underneath. Possibly the Cemnt Garden too.

yeah, the boys always mention corporate jingles...and some say there are in 84' pontiac dream and i think i there is one in alpha and omega...or something inspired by it...the actual times escape me now

That's really cool and it fits in with the Trans Canada Highway album cover too, I will give ...

He is a fascinating person. When he did the Tron soundtrack, he was called "Wendy Carlos". Aparently she had a certain change. Phenomenal, groundbreaking musician.

actually it was the other way around, she went from Walter ---> Wendy. Either way a total genius, I love the Shining soundtrack, it's ...

Regarding Gyroscope, do we actually know which track of The Conet Project it's from, or are we just assuming?

I've never found one from the Conet Project that matches up number wise, but there's always a chance they cut it up and restructured it, or maybe it's from another non CP recording of ...

Hi!

Yep, I'm a huge fan of the Conet Project, number stations and, well, shortwave in general. On occasion I stay up reeeeeaaaal late and try to find the strangest things possible over shortwave. Wish I could just catch one some time.. if they even exist any more.

As far as I know the numbers ...

first off hi there, first post!

The general consensus seems to be that the counting sample on Gyroscope is from The Conet Project, I think I may have found another CP sample on Oscar See Through Red Eye. It's a siren sound that's found throughout the whole song but most prominently at 2:13. I ...
