Whatever the sound is (I see what you mean about swishing sword), it
definately is part of the music. It clearly comes through every 4th
beat on the instrumental version (track 5: aspects of the sensual world)
for quite a while.

Thanks for your thoughts, I always thought it was someone keeping the
volume up while the tape deck started, after the church bells.
It sounds so similar, much like a record deck speed up when a cued
record is a little too close to the start (I was a university DJ
and engineer 80-83, heard it so many times - other DJs of course).

Odd you say "wedding bells", I used to hear the peel of these sort
of beel every Sunday morning, I lived in Kent until I was 16, thinking
about where Kate grew up, she should have done too.
