That would make a great title for a future album I think. If "The Millennium Bell" was called that, I'd certainly like it a bit more. You know, you may not believe it if I say I didn't even think that was a voice in there. It sounded like a percussion, or maybe a little defect that slipped into the final mix... -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

That's exactly what I think. Until this topic was posted I never realised that it could be a voice. It sounds like a scratch on a record to me, so it could well be a defect. If it is a voice, I still say it says "pt-chik", and I really would like to know how anyone can make out a word. It may be a speeded up word, but to me at least it is completely unintelligable. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Jan. 21 2005, 11:10 I'd resisted joining in this debate till now, but finally gave in. Listening on LS3/5A BBC monitors (which are very accurate and relatively low-colouration speakers - did I hear someone say something about sledgehammers and nuts?), I can't honestly say that I hear anything much resembling a voice. It seems (as various people are suggesting) like a little percussive noise whose sound could best be rendered, to my ears, as 'kit-cha'. Sounds like raven and I are hearing something very similar... Which is sad. I was really hoping it was fattybum. Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: April 22 2007, 23:08 This is the original thread where I first asked the question on November 28, 2004. Does Mike say the word Platinum 6 seconds into the album? Please go to the Poll on this subject and vote if you have not already done so. Thank You. Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

But it sounds like "ketchup". -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1759 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Aug. 17 2007, 15:23 Consider the possibility that Mike named the album "Platinum" after discovering a random noise on the mastertape that went "Pltchnm!".   -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Velodynamic Group: Members Posts: 119 Joined: June 2006 Posted: Aug. 17 2007, 19:21 I think it's too short to be 'platinum'...so there for I'll wote on 'guitar'. What I hear best is the vowel sounds 'ee' followed by 'aa'. The consonants is harder to make out. Also I'm driven by the fact that a bass guitar starts to play some seconds after this sound.
