The Sounds of Surfboy

And then it gets even better when the synth kicks in at around 5:00 and then the noise occurs again, but more quietly in the background. God I love that track.

You mean the vocal of someone shouting "Underworld" heaverly processed.

That's what I've always heard - and sung along in my head...perhaps cos the Tramway gig had the same idea of the brand scattered through it?

You made me go back and really listen to Surfboy though. Does anyone else think that the (for lack of a better word) squelching sound that comes in in the background at 5:21 on Surfboy is the same thing that makes the squelches that start at 1:22 on Pearl's Girl (14996 Version)?

hmm i hear a similar noise as the processed talking that sounds like barking that is all over the middle of Spikee (listen at 5:30)?
