No not the stuff hardcore/emo bands do, I mean the random conversations
held in a coffee house or an interrogation of a murderer played over
the music? Hopefully I can answer some questions with this also.
The ones that perplex me most are in
King Crimson's music. The first and foremost is the track Indiscipline
off of "Discipline", what the hell are they talking about and who is
it? That and the people speaking during the ending to Larks Tongues In
Aspic pt.1?
Please post others that you know of and others that are also unknown!

Here's a quote from a Robert Fripp biography:
 The fierce "Indiscipline" begins with tentative
atonal metallic sounds, then lurches into all-out guitar mayhem over bass
ostinati. Belew described the song's typically Crimsoid growth process:
"'Indiscipline' started out as a vehicle for some pretty erratic drumming.
Originally it was almost a throwaway, a drum solo with a riff hung on it.
Eventually I came up with a little melody, Robert came up with a line for
himself, and at that point we thought no, it's still not enough ... So I
thought of doing these talk sections throughout the song. We did that the
very last day of recording. I took a letter my wife had written me about
a painting she had done. I just took all these lines out of context
without specifically naming what the subject was, then added a few lines
of my own." |
I hope that helps sort of.
Dark Side... is the over obvious album.
A Bill Hicks recording is on Aenima by Tool.

I once heard some music in which a prostitute seemed to talk with a man who for some reason had no idea why he was with her. In the end she advised him to take off his trousers. It was hilarious, but I have no idea who the band were. Can anybody help?

I quite like all the tortured ranting on 'When The Walls Come Down'...the last track on Evergrey's new album, 'The Inner Circle'.

Interesting and obscure! Either way it will help when I listen to
that track again today. I have been on a Crimson marathon lately.

When I first read the lyrics through, without having listened to the song, I was puzzled and though, 'hmm, wonder what IT is.' Then I heard the song and thought instantly of a gun. No clue if that's true or not - apparently it's about a painting - ehh, well it's only my 0.02$.
I would LOVE to hear what the people speaking during Larks' Tongues are actually saying. I think it's a sampled something - likely from a movie - similar in vein to things like at the end of Pink Floyd's Have a Cigar or from The Wall, where they sampled many random old movies and shows (Gomer Pyle's 'Surprise, surprise surprise!' comes to mind!  )
I sometimes get the urge to just take a song to a sound expert and get them to filter out everything BUT the speech - or at the very least, isolate the speech and turn THAT up so you can hear what it is. That would probably cost something, though, and I'm not quite that curious just yet.

My favorite of all time is the deranged cult leader's monologue at the
end of Porcupine Tree's Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth.

..."Before it is recycled."
I love that song, favourite on "Lightbulb Sun".

On the slow song from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance. Near the end whent he tone changes there's all kinds of it.

On "Present", the reunion album of Van der Graaf Generator, there is some talking of the band members before the track "On the Beach".
