HIDDEEN MUSIC at the begining of Crawl Away....

[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.

im really lazy right now and ive been up all night due to amphetamines but I think I remember years ago reading the answer to your question on the FAQ

[mr. nikki jensen]

i sounds like that kind of music you hear in a theme park when kids are riding the merry-go-round.

I think it's some kind of Irish Jig

[opiated]

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.

Question answered. :)

It reminds me of Mexican Ranchero music.

:: Shudder ::

[There is no spoon]

Thanks everyone. IT has been eating away at me for a few years now, every time I listen to undertow

Credit to Hindu.

There. In addition to getting credit for discovering what the song was, your credit report also gets bumped up fifty points and you have $1,000 dollars more credit limit on your credit card.

(Damn. I gotta lay off the amphetamines.)

hahaha me too, which ones do you do. I'm a big fan of adderall

[Bodhi]

On the FAQ, if I remember right, it's some kind of Indian chant/dance or something. But it's in the FAQ.

[magicbus]

I just wanted to point out, now that those videos of the Undertow recordings have been unearthed, it looked like a Mexican Ranchero band.

Somebody mentioned it above, but there didn't seem to be a final decision.

[DON IOTAE]

cmon, dudes.

it's more like native south american indian music.

[DON IOTAE]

hmm

[Aenima7988]

it always sounded like traditional russian music to me, but then again i've never heard any russian music except that one part in pinnochio. videos of undertow recordings? WHERE?

[*~*»¤«(Đispositioñ)»¤«*~*]

If anyone would've bothered to look at the FAQ, it has been described as traditional Andean mountain music. It is also the music from some spanish song of which i forget the name. Oh, and it isn't "hidden".

[TJP]

has anyone seen the studio footage of the undertow recordings on youtube?

[HelenA]

Ok - off to listen to "Oruro Tierra De Ensuenos" or "Fiestas De Mi Pueblo" by Suenos. I love that bit at the beginning!

[Acid0.1]

Didnt notice it till now, had to put the volume pretty dam high at the start.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

the last, say, 16 posts in this thread are redundant.

[HelenA]

Not until I download these obscure songs - until then this thread is THE business

[Opiate Son]

I had never noticed this until last night when i was listening with headphones.

[Ghostwriter]

wow.......

[Ghostwriter]

My parents used to listen to this album when I was younger, I specifically remember hearing it when having barbecues. The song sounds EXACTLY like the ones on the album. I will have to ask my dad the name of the album...

[Bhikkhu]

If think they put this music there at the beginning of the song as a sort of joke. When you play the album pretty loud, you would think that your neighbours are playing folk music. You would put your stereo on pause and then you'd realize that the folk music is actually a part of the album (wtf?). Pretty funny joke :)

Are you referring to Undertow or this Mexican album?

CARNIVAL MUSIC! (*cues Jimmy reference)

[Aenima7988]

so does anyone know the significance of that music? or is it a joke as suggested above

[dxs]

Well, there's something fairly obvious about it.

TOOL begins by starting the intro of Crawl Away 17 seconds late. In the meantime, you're thinking, "wait, when's it starting?"

You crank it up. You hear an irish jig/carnival song/mexican music/whatever be your prediction, and when those seventeen seconds are up, Crawl away comes down hard on you to blow your eardrums for a few good seconds.

I think it's a way to express and feel surprise.

For a while, I thought something kind of strange over the song---I thought that maybe the low background music was probably representing the act of "crawling away" which may be defined in some other fine thread, and the loud noise following it being the moment when the thing/person crawling away is caught and dragged back.

I guess that's kind of analyzing it musically.
