Hidden music at the begining

[There is no spoon]

For the first 17 seconds of the song, there is another completely different song playing. What is that? Does anyone else here that? At the very begining, there are words, but I can't decipher them....

You need to turn the volume WAY UP in a set of headphones. Be careful to turn it back down at 17 seconds, because the song starts.

Yeah, I've heard it too, but I don't know what's being said

it sounds like parade music to me. like at a cultural festival or something. and i'm pretty sure there's another thread about this.

[weathermantom]

haha oops, i see you started that one too. so i guess you would know about it.

"The Mexicans are coming! The Mexicans are coming!"

(That was your clue if you're too damn lazy to look it up in the FAQ.)

When I first got the album Undertow I was listening and there was a long pause after "Bottom" so I turned it up and started hearing this music that had no relevance to anything played before or after...so I thought. Does it have relevance I wonder?

Actually, this (right now) is my least favorite TOOL song. I actually like the quite little music better than the song itself. Still, not too bad though.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I wasn't able to see the FAQ page. Every time I clicked on the link for it, a page came up that said I didn't have permission to view the page. I thought it was an error, so I asked and another member said that it and some other things weren't available for a certain amount of time after joining. In fact, I still can't view it and I think it's been long enough.

F22. So what's that sound right before "Crawl Away" ?
Well, while it has been described as traditional Andean mountain music, someone has identified it as (possibly) a song called "Oruro Tierra De Ensuenos." It is also a part of the song "Fiestas De Mi Pueblo" by Suenos.

But, why this music?

But, why this music?

thats a good question. i cant figure it out either.

My Spanish (what little I know how to speak) is rusty as fucking hell, but I think "Fiestas De Mi Pueblo" means "Parties/celebrations of my town/city."
