I've not seen this mentioned before - when I play TB - 2003 on my CD player at home and in the car... during the Master of Ceremonies section in about 1/2 way through there seems to be an echo of (I think) the work Gockenspiel - about midway through a track just in the background... is this a funny with the copy protection?

Apologies All round if this is an old one.. ;)

Look under a similar discussion in the TB2003 section of this forum. It's the 'Mandolin' introduction you're thinking of and yes it is said twice, for what reason we can't even begin to imagine,  and yes it's annoying. It's certainly deliberate and not a fault of the recording.

I noticed that too.  I did post a message some time ago regarding this and I was told that John Cleese liked when he said Mandolin so much, that he repeated it.  How true this is, I don't know, but I do agree that it is a tad annoying.

Maybe its a side effect of copy protection where you get

'I think'

throughout the album  :p  ARRRRRG !!!!!

This can't be true, for one reason.  It is the same "mandolin" you hear in TB2003.  I mean, it's just copy-pasted.  MO just took the "mandolin" think, copied it, make it sound less lounder, then pasted it later in the "song".  So, JC just said it once, and it is the part that is repeated.

Yes, I don't know why people can't seem to accept that it does indeed sound like the very same "Mandolin" audio file from before simply dropped onto the recording at that later spot.  Funny how it is insisted that it was intentional, when on other album threads, particularly regarding a glitch at the end of The Wind Chimes, those are always stated as being accidental.  :/

Well, I don't know about the sound on The Wind Chimes, it could well have been left there intentionally too.

Certainly with the repeat of Mandolin, I'd say it's either intentional or Mike and Ben Darlow have lost their hearing and their eyesight. If this many fans, listening to the 16 bit CD on consumer level equipment can hear it, why would it be that Mike, listening to the 24 bit master on £30,000 loudspeakers can't? If he couldn't hear it then he'd certainly see it on screen, or on the meters, as there'd be activity in the MC track where there shouldn't be. The fact that it's quieter also points to it being deliberate - if he'd just accidentally copied the section instead of dragging it to somewhere else, it would be at the same volume.

I would say that he must have listened to the album so many times during the making, that something would have to be going very wrong if he hadn't heard that. Of course, there are a few other things that did seem to get overlooked, so who knows...

I'd like to think he just did it to add a bit of mystery to the album; maybe he thinks all classic albums need something like this, which people will be puzzled over  :D
BTW, I don't see why people find it so annoying. Well, I see why, but I don't find it annoying. Not nearly as annoying as some other things on the album...

Yeah, like the lady's scream in the Ohio Players' "Love Rollercoaster"! :D

I was very puzzled about this as well and was about to post a topic like this before I saw this one.

It's not that annoying...

Aha! Good to know I wasn't imagining things. I don't find it at all annoying, but rather a pleasant surprise.
