Hmmm, this reminds me of when I tried to decipher that line from R.E.M.'s "The
 Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight."  In the past I've tried to figure out what Kate
was up to, but to no avail.  However, Mary Helen has prompted me to begin my
work anew.  (After all, my grail studies have come to a standstill. ;-))

Anyway, I sampled it (purists: from the Japanese TWW CD) and ran through it a
couple of times (okay, 50+).  At first I thought: "Wow!  It's 'They said that
were {???} {???} very {???}'"  Okay, I thought.  Let's try listening to the
individual words.  My mistake!  I got even more confused!  "They" turned into
"her lace(?)" (I tried to account for her accent).  Some of the other words
("said") seemed to stay much the same.

To confuse things further, the two channels are slightly different
(wow--stereo!), with the right having some electro-warble-like (<-technical
term) sounds.  Jeez!  Kate sure makes it hard to find the hidden meanings in
her work. ;-)  I can only come to the conclusion that she recorded "we let
the madness in," played it backwards, found words/sounds that sounded like
the backward version, recorded that, reversed it, and presto-chango--you're
done!  Try it at home, it's loads of fun for the whole family!
