Please, I need a help! I’m trying to recognise a text sample in great track ‘Elephant machine’ (for translation), but it is rather hard for me. Could somebody help me?

Has anyone experienced this yet? Any pics to share??? I’m disappointed I’ve gone to two recent shows and have not seen the new ‘tron.. I’ve only seen their teasers, which look fab, but does anyone have any firsthand info you can share?

happiness and love, all!!

workshop track

2012-04-11T21:09:55Z

Rrrrrrrright, well, finally getting round to finishing the track we started at the YB workshop last nov. I switched to presonus studio 1 and ditched cubase, picked up some more gear (benji turned me on to some cool gear) and started arranging/mixing to see what would come out. Progress can heard here: http://soundcloud.com/djrevmoon/yb-dub Intention is to finish it sometime next week. Starting to sound OK I reckon…..

So, Delina did it. She really did.

Hey folks,

I’m listening to “Delina Did It” for the first time and right now I’m hearing the last few seconds of the song for the first time. It has ~clearly~ blown my socks off already and here I am barefoot again, wondering if anyone could give me some info about the track.

Who sings it?
What is it about - - - fairies?
Who wrote it?
Who produced it?
Who sings on it?
Who plays the cello?
Where can I find it?
Is the opening sample Carl Sagan musing about astrometaphysics?
Can anyone decipher the vocals, or do you think they’re perhaps meant to be undecipherable?

Slight, ephemeral, always, faery, let me tell you, control where the misty rising and some completely ... lost it ... imaginary, everything .. so cozy.. You can find it… we’re still friends.

???

What an awesome beat. Nice and slow, completely twisted, and movingly beautiful.

This is one of those. It’s gonna drive me nuts. Benji, you read these forums. Tell me. Tell me tell me tell me.

And tell me, last but not least:

WHO is Delina??

Who else feels they prejudged Vaccine??

2011-05-22T08:00:47Z

Hi all!

After many comprehensive listens to Vaccine, I have to hold my hands up and say sorry for doubting YB’s new direction.
This album is amazing on so many levels. I take back the negative remarks I made about vocals. About a week or so ago I had an awesome experience listening to this album and now I hear it a new way.
The fine details, the composition, the production and also the vocals is just absolutely sublime. It has a psychedelic quality that is almost new to me. Something I haven’t experienced for quite a while which makes it almost new.
I’ve unfortunately listened to pop music to see if this album runs along the same lines. Thankfully, no it doesn’t. It doesn’t even sound like Coldplay to me. To those who think it does please explain and share why you think it does. What tracks of Coldplay does it sound like??
For those who believe YB have lost their early style, I agree but this album is such a progression in so many ways. I believe alot of us got caught up with how the vocals played a big part in the making of this album that we missed the bigger picture of it.

I for one was sceptical at first but every thing fits together so perfectly in this masterpiece. Take away the vocals/lyrics and you are left with awesome music however there would be a void. Everything has it’s place.

Lyrics have worked in music for so many great bands. I see it working so well for YB.

Benji, Ru, Simon and the rest of YB band. I congratulate you all on creating such a fantastic, wonderful and truly beautiful album.

Sorry for my intial doubts.
