The eight-or-so-minute track fades out after six-or-so-minutes and leaves us with two-or-so-minutes of silence before the endtrack Faaip. But how sure are we that it fades out?
Rachelle says: "for me, recorded silence speaks louder than sounds" and in the light of cost vs product, that makes total sense.
Chris says: "if you had two equal and opposite waves, they would cancel each other out" unless they would just combine to make white noise, in the sense that white light is a combination of all the colours of the visible spectrum.
Lateralus tends to have a lot to do with light. Light waves and sound waves have different frequencies, don't they? Isn't that why we see light and hear sound? But that isn't to say that light couldn't be recorded onto a CD. Wait, I think I'm digressing a little too far now. So I'll just re-pose the question:
Are we sure that it fades out? ...and not in?
