I just realized the meaning of the title "the color of the fire."

Its ORANGE. Oh my god I feel like a dolt for not getting the reference.

Also, just realised there are birds chirping in Music Is Math.

I'm not so sure.

Look at this:

Notice how number 3. is 'The Color of the Fire'. And the part labelled with the color 3 is... Turquoise Hexagon Sun.

Hence I've always thought since seeing that that the color of the fire is turquoise. Makes sense no?

Well hey I'm not saying it is definitive, but if they are labelling a turquoise hexagon sun as the color of the fire, I think it is pretty likely.

I take the whole thing as just another little in-joke from them, it makes me chuckle :)

The 'click track' which is literal clicking of fingers in '84 pontiac dream starting at around 2:10. Love it.

I can't make this out but I am hearing a sound similar to stepping in a puddle or pushing on a wet sponge around this same time (the 6th note or so)... first time I've noticed it. This is why Headphase is hands-down my favorite album. It's lushness and multitudes of layers simply cannot be beat.

And I feel like a dope for not realizing that until now.

I am bad at timings so I will say if you count 1-4 in time with the drum track it comes at every three and a third (at 2:10 onwards).
This must sound pretty primitive to people who like and create elaborate electronic music. I apologise.
I still haven't been able to find the sound you are talking about. Agreed that campfire has layers it can take someone their whole life to fully understand.

Something I've noticed a while ago is that a few tracks from the B side of R35 sound similar in style as Solarium from OTV2, such as - B01, B02, B07, B18, and B20. I feel like these tracks were from a separate album we've never heard of or from an era where BoC wasn't "BoC." Just my thoughts.

I always thought it was called that because "Hexagon" seems to me that it is referring to a camera's aperture.

in the track, julie and candy. there is a flute that plays a loop every few seconds, throughout the entire track. its being played very faintly in the background, and i am sure it took you guys plenty of listens to notice, or maybe some of you havent noticed it yet, and now you will after reading this
yeah, cuz you're psychic and all :roll:

I am not sure why you are referring to the Hexagon part. I am just talking about what 'the color of the fire' supposedly is.

My reasoning is thus: In that colour by numbers insert, they put in a 'Turquoise Hexagon Sun', which they have labelled as such. They have then instructed us to color it with 'The Color of the Fire'. So, if it is a turquoise hexagon sun, and the color in said sun is also 'The Color of the Fire', then 'The Color of the Fire' is turquoise.

I am not sure why no one else sees it as clearly as I do, they've basically told us what it is there.

Mongolian throat singing I believe? Amazing to hear live, they get two notes from the same voice at the same time! Oh, and I was made to wear one of those hats in Mongolia. Like a tourist prick lol ;-)
