ok, so has anyone figured out how to use these tracks
yet...unfort. i don't own a mac, and probably never will so
i won't have the chance to decrypt these in some silly
program....anyone have any findings??

it's kind of funny - as soon as AFX does something you don't
like, or doesn't fit into the idea of what he is supposed to
make, well - it must be a joke then, musn't it?

yes, I know.

but it could be a one-off. doesn't mean he has to do it
every time.

and why do you think you know they weren't made for
pleasurable listening?

yes i know...but lets think about it

its his second release on MEN...and for his 1st release he
did one...this being number 2....there are 2.

but then again he could be fucking with us...but if you can
sit down and listen to both of them at full volume. you need
meds...or a doctor.

well, I didn't like them much, but more because I thought
they were poorly composed.

better than the remix on there, at least.

if there are pictures in the ultra high frequencies,
i wouldn't be able to see it though because it's cut off
above 14khz,
i think because it is mp3 format.
can anyone with an actual CD of it do a spectrogram above
14khz and see anything?

i remember the guy who figured out the MEN2 secret said he
worked at a radio station or something, and a co-worker said
it sounds like a radio encription.........are there any
people here that work in the music industry? casue that
would help

im guessing that if you blend both of them together, you'll
find something

yeah, i guess.. they are probably just nothing, just so he
knew that all the fanboys would try for hours to decrypt
them..

either that or they are decrypted very well in a way that no
one will ever figure out..

get over it.
they are just pisstakes, he releases this shit because he
knows there are people like us who will buy whatever he puts
his name on.
forget this ridiculous idea that they are some kind of
secret message, it's just denial. secretly, you know that
it's a shit release.

If you play the KTPA tracks through a Hi-Fi you get some
noises.

If you listen to these then you'll realise why you have the
CD... cos there's FUCKING sound on it.

its not only that i like them ... I really find ktpa1
beautiful

I am right now listening to it and it really is music, juts
one rough moment in the middle of second minute, but all
through the track is just sweet noise making great music

those two tracks were probably more fun to make than to
listen to. He was probably really impressed with himself
for turning the image of his mother into ascii and than back
through a buffer while reading it from RAM, all at the same
time. Or it's a piss take.
