"Dug a re dug n dug a re dug re dug" etc.
Opening track of the elfin duo's second album 'Prophets...'.
Debora's tape gets a trippy rewind a la Napoleon XIV's They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Haaa!

  • So that's where Devendra Banhart gets his sound from!

  • Tony Visconti is on record as saying the reverse tape section was added as it was one of the few recordings where the melody almost sounded identical when played backwards. However, with the words obviously garbled, it sounded like a new set of lyrics. In any case it's a classic. Thanks for posting. I'm off to play the album now.

  • In the last 5 seconds if you play it backwards you hear (whom I'm assuming is Tony) going TAKE FOUR

  • Marc Bolan must be the only musician who sounds great, maybe even better, when his music is played backwards!!

  • great to hear the full version [ie NOT faded out]

    in the head of a man is a woman

    in the head of a woman is a man

    but what wonders roam

    in the head of a child

  • @lipsink Ina half-assed kind of way.

  • Thank God the Dodos are around today. What a great influence they took.

  • The band The Dodos have ripped off this sound pretty much wholesale, but in a good way

  • well but it sounds okay playing backwards

  • Someone told me that Marc got so fed up with people criticising his voice and sound he played this backwards just to give them something to moan about!

    Lol!

    Hope it's true - thanks for posting, got to get this album again!
