Comments[edit]
Telepathy is the supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses. It was a major field of research for scientists during the early 20th century and into the Cold War. [1] Upton Sinclair also conducted telepathy experiments in the 30's.[2]
The audio distortions on the vocals of this track may have been modeled after the reported auditory distortions present in Microwave auditory effect [3], which was a facet of telepathy research during the Cold War. This auditory phenomenon was used to transmit sounds directly from a microwave emitter into the human brain. Researchers described that the auditory distortions inherent to this process caused "the sounds [to resemble] those emitted by persons with an artificial voice box." [4]
When played backwards, the voice counting in the track can be heard to say "This is (is) the end of the Earth.. for now."
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
0:04 "Testing. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. (oops) Up and down, quite a thing [while I'm counting?]." (background) six, six, nine.
After the last number you can hear a quiet "listen" (same as in "Reach for the Dead").
In one sequence, the number six is repeated in the background, the result sounding more like "666".
