Audiotrack A06 Vocal Samples?
Anyone able to decipher anything from the multiple bizarre voices dotted around this track? They're pretty distorted and buried quite well into the mix so isolating them might prove to be quite the challenge. I feel like the speech at around 4:03 is one of the clearest, but I still have no clue what it could be saying. Any guesses?

I love those samples. A06 is the best BoC track by far. No idea where they come from, though. I don't want to know honestly, it would ruin the mystery of the track.
Re: Audiotrack A06 Vocal Samples?
The only speech in this track that I can pick out is one sample that repeats a few times (clear example at 3:07) which consists of a bell chime followed by a woman with a southern accent saying "Yes, what comes with, uh, chicken fingers?"
This sample also appears in Dave (I'm A Real Traditionalist) off Old Tunes Vol. 2

If The Campfire Headphase was a butterfly, would Acid Memories be the caterpillar?

I have read somewhere in one of the youtube video for this track (or the Dave track maybe) a comment saying that the sample came from one song made by My Bloody Valentine. Don't know if it's legit.

I care more about keeping the origins of the voices a mystery than what they're actually saying, but I can see why you'd say that.drillkicker wrote:I don't want to know honestly, it would ruin the mystery of the track.
I can definitely hear that now that you've pointed it out, what a strange sample to use in this sort of track.Jango9 wrote:The only speech in this track that I can pick out is one sample that repeats a few times (clear example at 3:07) which consists of a bell chime followed by a woman with a southern accent saying "Yes, what comes with, uh, chicken fingers?"

Re: Audiotrack A06 Vocal Samples?
Those really quiet screams in the distance are what really make this track great. There's so much depth to it, I can't get enough. There's also the one sample that sounds like it's vocoded, but I don't think you'll be able to decipher that one (if it's even a voice).

It just occurred to me that vocal samples are surprisingly sparse all throughout the Random 35 Track Tape. I'm pretty sure this is the only track on the whole thing that has any sort of vocals on it!
What other BoC album can you say that about besides Twoism? (Oh wait, IABPOITC and Trans Canada Highway)

Tomorrow's Harvest doesn't have a lot of vocal samples. When it does they're very prominent in the track and usually heavily manipulated.Jango9 wrote:It just occurred to me that vocal samples are surprisingly sparse all throughout the Random 35 Track Tape.

Re: Audiotrack A06 Vocal Samples?
Tomorrow's Harvest has plenty of vocal samples. Most of the songs have 'em in there somewhere. Where as if you look at a release like Trans Canada Highway, only 2 of the songs have vocal samples at all. Under the Coke Sign and Dayvan Cowboy (Odd Nosdam Remix), which has a very short section where you hear a voice saying "kill us all" repeatedly.drillkicker wrote:Tomorrow's Harvest doesn't have a lot of vocal samples.

However, I'm sure you mean that TH songs don't have as wide a usage of vocal samples as some of their previous releases, so ya, I can agree to that. Comparing some of the TH songs to say "Dirty Great Mable", "Telephasic Workshop" or similar songs definitely would lead someone to say "Tomorrow's Harvest doesn't have a lot of vocal samples."
