Title: whispering on Death is the Easy Way
Post by: whitepepper on Jul 18, 2005, 08:31 AM
I was sitting on the beach this past week, had a MMJ mix going on the ipod, and of course you hear so much more with headphones, but I think around the 2:40 mark, there is some whispering on the song...

You're right, I heard it too. Rollin Back also has a mysterious voice in the final seconds and now there's Off The Record. I'm telling you, something's going on!

I loooooove the whispering in Death is the Easy Way.  I had it on headphones when I was half asleep one night and it scared the crap out of me.

haha, I'd never headphonesed the end of rollin back before. Sounds like they left a radio on or something - very cool.

I don't think anyone's deciphered the whispers on Death is the Easy Way, but they sure make the song beautifully eerie.

That said, about the backward stuff in Off the Record, does it screw up a needle to play a record backwards? I want to do this for real, not just by reversing an mp3.

I don't think Beatles fans had any problem with their needles.  :)

damn, I don't know how to play a song backwords...so this kinda sucks... I don't have a record player, and I'm too stupid to know how to make an mp3 do that

A good pair of headphones & some weed will help.
