As 2distortedguitars said in the Amarok forums about MFTB: "Listen to the last second and you can feintly hear "F***k off" being said" My question is this: who said it? It doesn't sound like a normal voice to me, perhaps with some natural distortion or technical. The voice is not consistent with Mike's singing, although his vocal chords probably weren't used to the use they were put to, and came out slightly distorted . -Tim- Back to top

It does sound a little distorted, but it sounds like Mike himself. Thanks for pointing that out; it adds yet another piece of personality to this under rated album . Back to top

The saxophonist??? Anyway, "F*ck off" is Mike. I'm sure about it. It can't be anyone else. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

That's what the whole album's secretly about. When you see it from an ironic perspective the album's not so bad There is also laughing at the end of the title track. I haven't heard it for a while, but I remember making a recording of it as well Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Mar. 11 2004, 19:31 Yes, at the end of the track Heaven's Open, someone says something along the lines of "that was good" in a slightly silly manner. I'd imagine that both the pieces of speech are things that ended up caught on tape at the end of takes and were left on there, or even edited out and placed in there - the f**k off especially would seem to have been picked for its relevance to the album!
