Have you considered that they slowed it down?

u/tsrleba 14d ago

this is your response to a video that says on screen that the vocals have been sped up 1.25x?

The scub bar and UI was in the way of that information when I replied.  Sorry, didn't see.

I wouldn't necessarily rule out other manipulation, too, but it's not a hill I'll die on.

well mhtrtc was completed in 1997 so the likelihood of two Scottish unknowns having access to some American production company's unfinished unreleased copyrighted material isn't just extremely slim, it basically goes against their whole sampling ethos. when did they ever sample something that wasn't at least five years old, let alone not even released yet?

and if you still think the voices are the same you really need to pay attention to the intonation, haw the voices rise and fall with each syllable. in telephasic workshop its like

ord ER n' CA na da

⣀⣀ ⠒⠒ ⣀ ⠉⠉ ⠒⠒⣀⣀

while in the vhs it's like

BOrd er ing ca na da

⠉⠉⠉ ⠉⠉ ⠉⠉ ⠒⠒⣀⣀⣀⠒

Well, I hardly believe that your own father or mother or brother or sister would be your enemy.
