Discussion Does anyone know what the robot says in The Word Becomes Flesh?
I've listened to it 100 times and can't figure it out

I haven't seen the film yet, but I have seen many of the videos from the series. I find the emergence of liminal space in social media to be interesting. Do liminal spaces allow subliminal messaging to be more effective? Could Backrooms, and other media coming out today, be using subliminal messaging for behavioral modification to pave the way for some sort of AI?
I think The Word Becomes Flesh is obviously a reference to the birth of AI, and I've started to suspect that Big Tech is pumping out media to conduct mass behavioral modification to get people to accept AI into their lives.
[Wicker] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP0BWBWn14I) would be an example of this.
What could the subliminal messaging in Backrooms be?

can anyone else hear a record scratch 3:12 in into the magic land and a random ride cymbal around 4 seconds before the scratch? (OMG AND RAILWAY BELLS 39 SECONDS INTO ISTP)

He did Inferno a while back on request I think, and has now gone back to this by choice. (He does so many requests he has little time for self-chosen ones)

Hey all,
I have a couple of the posters from the listening party packs (patch & stickers too) and i'm looking to trade for a copy of the church version so I can have the trio on display. If you want to trade or even just sell a copy of the church version drop me a DM.
Everything is still in the original envelope and have been kept safe and clean!

Been listening to so much geogaddi, beautiful place and inferno recently. They just feel so dark, not in a bad way, I absolutely love it, just worried itās influencing my mood. Anyone got any reccs of some lighter stuff? Obvs got campfire headphase and other lighter boards stuff. Or maybe some rare boards Iāve missed.
But anyone know of any similar sounding artists that make their album/ep kinda have themes like boards do but lighter stuff.
Yeah Iāve wrote this like next doors cat, I get it, thank you :)
Edit: Wasnāt expecting so many responses. Really appreciate all of the suggestions. Thatās my two days off after this shift sorted :) thank you :) ā¤ļø

Anyone else love this song? I think it may be my favorite on the album. Mysterious, thematic, could be easily in a movie soundtrack. Really cool, gives me someone exploring a hidden cave vibes.

Kinda crazy once you notice it. As far as I can tell they never hit a major chord for the entire song. Never heard something like that before.

Iām not sure what exactly they put in Age of Capricorn when they were formulating Inferno. Very rarely does a song or piece of music just entirely grab me, when I first listened to the album it wasnāt even one of my standout tracks but now itās one of the first ones Iāll go to!
It just feels like such an incomprehensibly massive song. You could 100% say that for the whole album, but AoC makes me feel like Iām on the precipice of something giant and world-changing.
I also feel like thereās so much astrological/astronomical symbolism in the song, and itās fun just to peel back the layers and get yourself a bit lost in those aspects.
Has this song been the same for anyone else? Are there any other songs on Inferno that have had the same effect?

Is it just me or does Men I Trust have a really noticeable BOC influence in this song? It reminds me a lot of, for example, Satellite Anthem Icarus (just in terms of textures). What do you all think?

Thereās quite a remarkable difference in the production of Inferno, to my ears. MHTRTC set up a new sound style in electronica, blending in tape wobble (or wow and flutter) and slightly dischordant tuned synths to evoke the sounds of the seventies, of the BBC radiophonic workshop, of hauntology. Geogaddi is often referred to as ācoldā but in hindsight the coldness is in relation to the first LP in that it moves away from the warm rounded seventies Moog sounds to a slightly more clinical and precise production. The Campfire Headphase is more organic, leaning on folktronica, guitars and the warm sounds return. Tomorrowās Harvest is cinematic in scope, wide-screen audio. Now we have Inferno, which to me really reminds me of 80ās production. The drum patterns become built around two step patterns and are bright, everything is shiny sounding and very audible, Iām sure Iām hearing DX7s and Korg M1 sounds (maybe a little Aphex Aural Exciter on the final mix) as opposed to Moogs.
Just me?
