Hidden phrase "burning pot" (25 KB) An indication that the song Chemistry is about drugs. It is the phrase "burning pot" hidden in such a way that you are most likely to hear the phrase while in a subtly receptive altered state. The main theme of the song, however, is LSD, not pot. The disconnected "puh" sound has obviously been artificially inserted, resulting in "potter" rather than "hotter".

subtraction" (65 KB) (not "add without subtraction") (the

vehicle)

many odd enunciations on this album.
"The timeless soul detraction" (52
KB) (not "timeless old attaction") (the mystic altered state feels

altered state)

LSD use. Recorded mono from left channel only, boosted bass, increased volume
at start and end.
Uneven heartbeat (79 KB) (16 Kbps) High
compression works well for this clip since the treble is rolled off anyway. The
