So I was riding my bike last night, and put on telepath, but in reverse.
What really grabbed me by my balls, was that I knew the track before, but now, I managed to hear/understand the words that there were. I knew that this voice could be reinforged into something, took me long time to listen to it and hear nothing (I'm not obssessed though), and suddenly *click*.
Lyrics:
00:25 - This is... is
Yeaaaar... Of... Third... War... Now.
00:36 - 00:53 - *no idea, didn't spend any effort to comprehend it*
00:53 - This is... Year... of... third...
1:00 - Now.
1:01 - 1:20 - *no idea, but sounds terryfing*
1:21 - 1:28 - This is year... Of... Third... War... Now.
I didn't want to immerse too deeply, because imagination can provide you with answers for questions that don't exist.
Just transcribed what I feel is a deliberate work.
The speech fits the theme of the album perfectly. It also fits to the recent changes in political world.
A message appears? Are you on drugs? You played the song in reverse haha A message appears! If you play Cold Earth in reverse the future boc will come to you telepathiclee. From the creator of the cold earth that is. Which is michael and marcus.
This has probably already been discussed in depth during my absence, but the more support Trump gets plus the recent developments in Britain sometimes make this album feel almost like a warning that not enough people listened to.

I guess this is something being lost in translation, but do you listened to this track in reverse? It's actually very creepy, I'm not a fan of reversing BOC tracks, but this is really good, go listen to it !
Also if you reverse Transmisiones Ferox, you can hear' PICK ME UP,
if you can't reverse it, there's reversed album on youtube,
You think that's creepy? I made a song where i ran white noise through grm tools in cubase and cut the 20 minute long jam session up and loading the samples into a song and listening to the track hearing a voice saying "TALLER" then today got the movie "Gods of Egypt" you can quote me on it but, the god osiris says to dude make it "taller" haha and i've not heeard anyone say taller in a while. I get this kind of stuff all the time.
Have you played stairway to heaven in reverse? Says something like satan walks a path, something or other.
The very end of rue the whirl is genius played in reverse,
Let's not compare our level of creepiness, in BOC music, this track reversed is actually sound interestingly, compared how this track pretty dark by it self, but if you not interested in such stuff, why even bothered?
It's just funny, because I remember how some people reviewing this album were saying, that Telepath is just a manipulation of sound voices, nothing more, well not exactly
I'm with Alien Sugar on this. There's definitely no 'deliberate' hidden message. Any fragment of speech can be reversed into something sinister if that's what you're listening for.

Are you seriously equating Brexit with the apocalypse?

Just an eyewink to the listener, just them being themselves. I was not serious about "the message" like it came out of the mouth of an Oracle. I feel this fits the apocalyptic/political/war theme, therefore it makes a slight sense, so I decided to share my mind.
This is just music, and its role is to entertain both sides, they just play and let us play with them.
@Omikron:
I'm aware that this could be my only fu*ked up mind, but knowing what I know about this project, I wonder how many coincidental and how many aware easter-eggs they've put so far.

I will actually disagree with you on this, only because, it is explains, why some voices in Telepath sounds weirdly unclear, maybe because they are backmasked with other voices? Anyway, shoot me, but if this track does not sound interesting reversed, then what is interesting?
This goes from someone who rarely reversing their music.
Given the subject matter in this thread, this seems like the perfect place to say that I have always thought the "Listen." in Reach for the Dead sounded an awful lot like Donald Trump. Now how they new he'd be the presumptive Republican candidate for President of the United States four years later is beyond me.

honestly that would be cool, something Dear Esther-esq with TH as the soundtrack
I've thought about this a lot, a slow sci-fi game with a Bocesque soundtrack would be ridiculously fine, even better in VR. Who knows, maybe one day we'll see this. They have certainly not been shy about doing multimedia experiments in the past, Maybe if they are okay having their stuff played in conjunction with Shockwave then surely they'd be up for VR (despite being on record that their idea of a happy environment is "as far away from technology as we can get").
