Perhaps some of the titles on the latest opus by rdj are, rather than pigeon celt or welsh (not that anyone ever said they were) but are in fact, anagrams much like the ones on the "i care because you do album" (the waxen pith; next heap with - etc) anyone got any notions?

It's Welsh, the song's with a 3 is a Welsh way of writing an extended Z sound into English.

thats bollocks. im a fluent welsh speaker and i can say that none of the tracks are welsh except 54 cymru beats which translates as many people have guessed to "54 welsh beats". They maybe welsh anagrams but i have'nt worked out any.

track 25 'petiatil cx htdui' is probably an anagram as it contains A P H E X. the remaining letters are T I T I L C T D U I.
Im not so good at countdown any ideas?

Yes the remaining letters spell in another order:
LUCIDITI and TIT
I much prefer palindromes to anagrams anyway the longest that comes to mind would be "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!"
an elegant tribute from Leigh Mercer to Ferdinand de Lesseps the builder of the panama canal.
(taken from Richard Whitely's " A treasury of words and wordplay" companion to countdown and also a jolly good read when dropping the kids off at the pool.

'i aphex lucid tit' thought it might be. you ever seen that episode of countdown when a guy came up with 'wankers'. honestly. it was a classic. it was sometime last year.
