Not that it's been years (I've just been listening to it a LOT), but I think my favourite element of Tape 05 might be the quiet, jangly guitar loop that starts around 0:27 and runs thru the whole song. It gets buried almost immediately by the more dense bass tones that start seconds later, but once things quiet down towards the end of the song (2:25), you hear them again easily. I didn't really clue into them until I listened on headphones, of course. :roll:

It's the little things like that, that make me love this band. :)

Here's a weird one.

I was convinced that they sampled the strings on The Road To Perdition at 1:40:20 (hehe) for The Beach At Red Point. But here's the catch, the The Road To Perdition was released on July 12, 2002, Geogaddi was released on February 18, 2002. And so I'm wrong, but damn it sounds similar (or they somehow managed to sample the soundtrack pre-release (obv they did not)).

So. I noticed that the gasp from Alpha and Omega is in Chromakey Dreamcoat. It kicks in with the beat but I have seen no mention of it anywhere

also I noticed that theres street sounds at the end of 84 pontiac dream including a car actually going like "beep beep!" at one point

also since I am not sure if I commented this yet theres also a scream in XYZ.

The gasp in chromakey first appears at 00:32 and then throughout. So yeah I was a bit off with the beat thing but eh

On second listen the street sounds are all throughout pontiac dream almost like a background layer thats going on but the "beep beep" from the car can be heard at 3:23

The scream appears for the first time at 3:36 and then it repeats throughout every few measures (I think?)

Chromakey Dreamcoat is about someone who is stuck in traffic.
