It's a voice from a self-hypnosis tape. Mike used various excerpts of that throughout the album.

And the guy from the self-hypnosis tape is called Mike Joseph.
I saw somewhere that it came from one tape Sally Oldfield had and gave to Mike one day...

i would like to know that too. I think it's more a tape where you can make a dreamtrip. A story is told and a you listen to the music and the voice and relaxe. I have tryed it and it's great. If you like I can make a short version here

I'm still wondering whether those drums on Magellan came from "When The Levee Breaks." ;)

[Off Topic]
Mustapha: they're not on Magellan but on the second half of Crystal Clear itself... and they're not from the Led Zeppelin song, but from a sample CD where the sound of sound of the drums on that song was imitated with a different pattern. [Korgscrew confirmed this. ;)]
