vote: best sound fx track

so..... not much to explain. both tracks Mantra and (-) Ions are strategically positioned to separate and shock absorb two masterpieces, and both are the result of processed sound. which one do you guys think is cooler?

i personally prefer Mantra, as the very idea of recording the sounds a cat emits when nearly strangled (tho this might not even be true) is ironic. yes, as you might have guessed, i'm not a big cat lover.... to the point i tried to record my personal mantra with the neighbourhood alley cat! too bad it failed... turns out cats don't say anything when being squeezed. oh, and by the way, i made sure this was legal.

(-) ions isn't bad, but sounds like someone shaving with an electric razor on an airfield...;-)

oh, and i was almost forgetting, one last thing( Colombo style): why are only 20% of the members still interested in the lateralus, aenima, salival, undertow, opiate forums?! i feel like i'm in a desert!:-(

Mantra.




But I post in the other forums, probably more so than 10k Days.

well that makes two of us my friend. I've nothing against 10k days, but i think it's getting people to forget 5 other albums were officially released before it, and to ignore that the lesser known songs are equally awe inspiring.

anyways nice signature :-)

"(-) Ions" is one of their best segues in general (in my opinion). The static sound is so cold and eerie.

- Ions on stereo is mindfucking. The way the sound flows from speaker to speaker.

Yeah... give it a try with headphones. Definitely my favorite... I think they were going for a thunderstorm.

Agreed, from a pure engineering standpoint, it has the trippiest and coolest sound of the two.
