For starters I tried to post this in the rumors section but it wouldn't let me.

Just started reading The Illuminatus Trillogy and i'm only on page 32 and i have come across 2 references to songs on the new album. I thought when I came across the first one that it was a coincidence but i found another and I can't believe that it is. Everything in quotes is snippets taken from the book.

-Pertaining to some output of computer code in the form of "Hexagram 23"

"This traditionally unlucky sign was cast by Atlantean scientist-priests shortly before the destruction of their continent and is generally connected with death by water. Other vibrations link it to earthquakes, tornadoes and similar disasters, and to sickness, decay, and morbidity as well.

The first correlation is with the unbalance between technological acceleration and political retrogression, which has proceeded earthwide at everwidening danger levels since 1914 and escpecially since 1964. The breaking apart is fundamentally the schizoid and schismatic mental fugue of lawyer-politicians attempting to administrate a worldwide technology whose mechanisms they lack the education to comprehend and whose gestalttrend they frustrate by breaking apart into obsolete Rennaisance nation-states.

World War III is probably imminent and, considering the advances in chemicalbiological warfare in conjuction with the sickness vibrations of HEXAGRAM 23, the unleashing of plague or nervegas or both is as probable as thermonuclear overkill"



The second pertaining to Rosetta Stoned

"After that it was resold to a Times Square dealer called Rosetta the Stoned."

Coincidental. Rosetta the Stoned may pertain to the song, but 23 means nothing more than a walk out track

I do find that pretty hard to believe that it's purely coincidental that three references to the track listing are found in this book. Leaves me to ponder...
