don't know if this belongs in this thread, because it's just using a direct sample

 

the first few bars of: Durango Sangrando - Spinetta 

is the sample d is using for saturnine on sworn virgins

 

 

was always wondering where that came from.

So I decided to play Sex, Consolation for Misery at 2x speed and it appears to be based on a loop from Of Ankles To Stone (drums & bass).

[xpgno]

Y'know, I always thought there was something a bit weird about those drums so that checks out. Does this imply Of Ankles to Stone was recorded to tape, since that slow-down effect is much easier to achieve? On that note, determining what Omar albums were recorded analog and which were digital would be a good project for coma-nerds to take on.

In Meccamputechture, just before "it lacks a human pulse", part of Tetragrammaton is played backwards. Does that count?

[Andrewf]

Yeah it counts. Also not xenochrony but kinda fun trivia: intro backwards solo in goliath appears forwards later in the song

[vacuumo]

it wouldn't be the first time Omar's used a tape-slowed drum part; he evidently used the same trick for the weird industrial sounds at the end of Drunkship (iirc, it's a drum part taken from Eriatarka).

At 1:34 in Of Blood Blue Blisters, you hear a drop-in of a guitar figure that re-appears in Cruelty Restores Order, around where he says "they killed us three at a time" it's quite clear, but it's probably looping throughout. I guess he just has a collection of guitar stems filed under 'random noise' and pulls one of them out when he needs it. 

 

Edit: it's also toward the end of Necroplasty.

Private Fortunes and Sex Consolation for Misery use the same percussion loop.

 

It sounds more natural in Private Fortunes, as if it's being played at the original speed there, but slowed down in Sex Consolation for Misery. I find that kind of weird, to be honest, since I thought Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus was recorded about six years before Old Money.

[Mavis Diles]

You can't take anything he says about when albums were recorded literally. Maybe parts of Absence are old but the sound of it falls firmly in the timeline of when it was released. I think Solo Extrano is a close relative of this and Minor Cuts.

Aranas is pretty weird. Apparently it's around 2001/2002. Vocals are obviously modern with Teri, maybe 2012 and the last song sounds like octa so probably recorded around 2008

El Ciervo Vulnerado is basically a couple of layers used in Vondelpark/Apocalypse with a song over the top of it.

The Malkin Jewel has an Infinity Drips sample right at the start.

Sea Is Rising from unicorn skeleton mask and Sea Is Rising from corazones are the same song (probably)

I'm currently trying to figure out if Dyslexicon uses a sped-up drum track (or parts of it) from Las Flores Con Limon.

Here's an interesting one: Lick the Tilting Poppies drums sound very much like slowed down and edited drums from Hands Tied To The Roots of Hemorrhage

Trident Resting on a Pulse is based around a slowed-down/stretched version of the loop that you hear in Horror, Mood Swings and a couple of others (where it sounds like a demonic wood pigeon)

'Demonic Wood' is Thomas Pigeon's middle name. Coincidence?
