1 Boc Maxima

1.1 Concourse

Bob Vila: Sir, I--I--I notice that you've--

Man #1: Well, it's another of these--

Bob Vila: Right.

Man #2: That's correct.

Bob Vila: That's interesting. Great. Right. Ah, now those--we... ah, look like full-dimensional--

Man #1: Right.
Man #2: That's correct.

Bob Vila: Yeah, mm-hmm.

Man #2: Ah, that's correct.

Bob Vila: Right. Well, it makes a lot of sense.

1.2 Whitewater

Some of this song's vocals are extremely distorted.

"The neighbours are brilliant, and I feel proud, and you ought to be proud of me too. I really wonder why people don't treat me gently. I do a job, a real good job - I clean my room, or something like that - and I feel proud, and you ought to be proud of me too. And the neighbours are brilliant, and we were having a good time, and I'd be happy. Then when the time comes to go home, I feel rather sad, and I turn into the sad me. Anyway, there sure are a lot of different me's, just like you have a lot of different you's. Well, I'm going outside now, outside right now, to call all the neighbours, and that's fine too..."

This is a Sesame Street vignette in which a boy talks about the different "me's" inside of him.

2 Twoism

2.1 Sixtyniner

Man: "That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive. They lived happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. All my fears disappeared. All that was left was a kiss. Every move we made was a kiss."

This is believed to be from a pornography film.

4 Geogaddi

4.1 Dandelion

Leslie Nielsen: "When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur. In time, submarine sea-mounts, or islands, are formed. When lava flows underwater, it behaves differently. And a new contraption to capture a ' dandelion' in one piece has been put together by the crew. The preparation for a dive is always a tense time. When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur."


4.2 Magic Window

This track is silence.

5 Hell Interface

5.1 The Story of Xentrix

Robotic voice: "I have a story to tell. Once there was a boy who had a large dog; the dog was called Xentrix . One day the boy was walking in the woods with Xentrix; he stumbled on a wooden door. Xentrix opened the door, and the boy followed him inside. What the boy saw amazed him: there was a cave one mile long, and inside the cave were one million other children and a million dogs. The boy could not hold back his tears when he heard Xentrix say, 'Welcome, my friend. These are my people; now they are your people too.'"
