 		ok i got: 3PWAILHECFRUYOMICOMRRISEK but 3p email is compromised is close enough. That was a waste of my life/sleep. I now see where I went wrong; a lot of breaks in the wrong places/not enough breaks, anyway one more thing there is a bit after the guy says 'they kill people where you here something said or there is a weird sound, i cant make it out with my software, i muted the other channel and normalised it but i dont have anyhting to slow the thing down... It might just be a mistake by mind candy.

Just played this track to my friend and hes pointed out that theres something after the message, we think its morse code. but its really quiet and kinda tricky to work out.

Does anyone know of a decoding program that could help work out what its trying to tell us??


You might try this:
1) Download Audacity, a free Open Source sound editor
2) Load the sound file into the editor (assuming you've ripped the CD)
3) Highlight the bit at the end
4) Use "Trim" from the Edit menu, which deletes everything but what you have highlighted
5) One of the menus (Filters? Effects?) should have a function for normalizing the sound. This will make it as loud as possible without clipping.

You won't get automatic results, but you should be able to hear the morse code more clearly, giving you a better chance at manually determining what it says.


Sorry but I cant seem to get anything but a loud short burst of screeching when i import audio file? Am i doing somthing wrong.

Well, if the new Harry Potter movie has taught me anything, it's that in situations like yours you should try putting it underwater and then listening to it. Then again, I'm not sure how smart it would be to put your computer in a tub full of water and sticking your head in after it.

 		After some poking around with Google Maps and comparing it to the stations listed here, I couldn't find any nearby streets that sounded like Gillet St.

Edit: And the Google results for "Gillet Street" + subway don't offer much hope either.

 		Um, just to get back to the 'when' side of the discussion, the torch for the 2006 Winter Olympics was officially lit this past Sunday (the 27th)...

 		new player, hop ive to have found something new
I have the silver city cd and have noticed that the writing on the 'hesh' logo is the same font as the question on csa #45 'snake eyes'.
The font has the same kind of swirls, so do you think there could be a link between Viard and this card?
Im new so im just going with the information on the magazine with the perplex city starte pack. It mentions the 'mysterious V', could that be viard?

Please ignore me if im stating the obvious Confused

 		Some1 was asking that why would the 3p put a coded message into the album knowing there is a possibility we would find it on Earth. Well two reasons I can think of.
One we know 3p agents are on Earth so they need someway to be given information, remember that on kurts blog he mentions they noticed an increase in datastream traffic, 3p? In which case if that has been compromised AND the email system we hacked a few months ago, then this is the only option left for them atm.
Two, orginially wasn't this supposed to be just released in PPC? If they album was already recorded before it was banned there, then this could just be a direct copy of the first recording complete with hidden message, sent over here on the datastream. In which case the message was directed at 3p on PPC, not Earth.

Very Happy

I reckon this is going to be the place we are going to have to meet. Its right next to a railway line for a start. I may pop over there at the weekend to see if there is something there.

 		I've just received my 'free' starter pack from firebox this morning and there's a web address [www.handlewithcare.de] on the back. I've worked in the media replication industry and it's perfectly common for the company that presses CDs to put their contact details on the back like this. I've checked out the website, and it seems genuine enough (nothing imediately grabs me as suspicious) and may have nothing to do with PPC, but they have a cube in an animation on the site and it's left me wondering.

Any second opinions?

 		Scratch that, go to the site and switch it to english and then take a look at the guest book entries, they don't seem very realistic.....I think this might be meaningful..

 		yeah... I don't really think so.
It's just German guys with their faulty English in that guestbook.

 		Well, some of the comments are very generous about their 'beautiful site' don't you think?

One piece of text translates to (via Babelfish only I'm afraid)

A little weird for the guestbook of a CD manufacturer? Like I said, I could be looking too hard...

 		Well, I'll email them a little hello and see what info they can give me on the CD. Using my old record company details should hopefully lure them in...
