Something for the Aphex FAQ file... In case anyone's interested, I'm about 99% sure that the distorted/processed voice in track 5 of the Analogue Bubblebath 4 is that of Evel Knievel, a legendary American loony who spent most of the 1970's jumping over/off things on motorcycles (clue -- the voice is talking about the two skycycles he owns, the third being "at the bottom of the Snake River Canyon" -- which corresponds to a spectacular failed stunt Knievel pulled in the mid 70's) Anyway, he did a speaking tour earlier this year, with Beck (?!) as his opening act, so that's probably where the speech came from. Now I'm off to write a thousand times: "I promise not to trainspot I promise not to trainspot I promise..." ----------------------------------------------------------------- dave walker, detroit art services _ marmoset@msen.com play sim freeke <A HREF="http://www.msen.com/~marmoset/">Dave Walker</A>
