Fantastic, thanks for one of if not the most amazing post when it comes to anything Tool related here on Sift.

must watch again.............

I've been listening to the same mp3 of disgustipated for at least 10 years. I think it's amazing. However, the mp3 that I have is all chopped up everywhere. It sounds like "cries--cries--the carrots--the cries of the carrots!".

I always thought it was cool how they did that. But now that I search the internet, no one else's sounds like that! Do I have some special version, or have I been listening to a fucked up mp3 my entire life?!

I ripped a friend's White Zombie CD back in college and one of the tracks skipped a couple of times during the process. I grew accustomed to listening to it that way, and from then on, I always found it strange when the version on the radio didn't sound the same.

Yeah, I think the CD your version was ripped from was probably scratched or something. Ha!

love this sift, enoch. you should have a maynard playlist for all the stuff you have posted.

Believe it or not but this track always spoke to me. Not necessarily because I enjoy it, though I do. But because the first few sentences of the track are familiar to me.

You see about a mile from where I grew up, in the hills south of Ithaca, NY by a small lake called Cayuta Lake there is a grave yard that has some very old graves. Most of them are tied to the mansion that was built about two hundred years ago. I'm talking graves from the early 19th century. Many of them have unusual sayings on them or old prayers. Several are large statues of angels.

On in particular as I remember was from a man who died in the 1860s. He had what appeared to be a stylized Jewish star in brass on the grave stone. Under that was a very dark poem. I always remembered it because it was so unusual.

Years later I got this album and on my CD player I found this track. It struck me immediately, that the first two sentences are EXACTLY the same as was written on that grave. Used to hang out with a friend in that old graveyard and had several odd experiences there. When I played this track for him he about fell over.

I don't know if part of this track is some old and oft unused prayer or from some other writing. But to this day the track brings back that memory.
