dirty epic

(dirty guitar)

*note - the transcript below - is a rough translation of karl's words which are spoken through a 'filtered' process on this track 'dirty guitar'…this interpretation, by bss, is a rough translation of what is said - some words are so distorted or loudly overdubbed with music that it is hard to make out what karl is saying - I know the words below are nonsensical and could be misinterpreted as a bad translation, but most of these are actually the words spoken by karl in this song….if you listen carefully he definitely says some weird stuff on this track…including the 'erms' and 'umms' at the end…bss couldn't make this up….

karl is well known for recording snippets of thought and daily goings-on onto his dictaphone and it is probably from one of these recording sessions that the vocal of this track is lifted - if you have any clearer translation of this song we would like to see it...all credits will be made on this site…
