Tool news at the Tool Hotline

First of all, don't kill the messenger if this doesn't work. I simply report this stuff.

I do feel obligated, however, to report a recent discovery made on Echoing The Sound regarding the 10,000 Days album art puzzle. Pharaoh made the discovery that, believe it or not, the album apparently syncs up with The Wizard Of Oz. Here's a snippet from his post, explaining how to do this:

1. play the movie. the black and white lion in the MGM logo roars three times. AFTER the THIRD roar, PAUSE the movie.
2. play '10,000 days.' be sure to set your stereo to 'repeat all tracks'
3. at EXACTLY - 1:44 into 'vicarious,' UNPAUSE/PLAY movie.
4. you know you did it right when the loud 'thud' at the end of 'wings p.1' corresponds to the scene when dorothy's house lands in Oz.
5. sit back and enjoy.

He also goes on to say:

at first it my seem awkward because of the weird way to synch up the movie [pink floyd is simple by comparison], also listening to 'vicarious' at the beginning, it doesn't seem to gel obviously, but 'vicarious' will make more sense when it repeats later in the movie. trust me, but the time 'jambi' cuts in, the lyrics will begin to synch up with what's happening. by the end of 'wings p.2' you will think "meh. interesting coincidence." BUT, when the tin man scene kicks in, you will know that this is totally legit. THIS. IS. FOR. REAL.

So, there you have it. Have fun trying it out.

There is more information, as well as a discussion about the discovery, here.

Big thanks to Pharaoh for letting everyone know.
