Hey all together!

Since a quite long time I hear at this point of 8VM somebody speaking something. I heard it know with my new mp3-player ( iaudio X5, amazing little thing with great sound, by the way! ) but I just can't figure out, what he exactly says; maybe it's something like "this is where we came of" or so. It's quite possible, that I'm totally wrong and that's why I decided to ask you now.

So what's your opinion about that?
I hope that this wasn't a theme some time ago. If so, I'm sorry!

I heard it too, tried to figure it out a few times, but couldn't get any words out of it. I'm curious, though.

Yeah, I believe it's called 'working more on nuggets for obsessive fanboys to orgasm over than writing the music'. ;)

IMHO the references throughout the entire song go beyond the lyrics. It's got the whole Pink Floyd early Genesis Metallica Beatles ELP etc. vibe-thing happening. That section of Full Circle reminds me of "In the Cage" by Genesis for some reason.
