Hidden sounds on Different Class
Permalink  
 

Well, not quite so interesting, but I've been listening to Different Class on headphones for the first time in years. I had always thought that a sound that occurs before the 'so what do I do...' line on FEELING CALLED LOVE was a weird gitch. After all this time, I realise it's Jarv taking a draw on a cigarette (sampled, no doubt), also there's a smashed bottle on Disco 2000 and a drum n bass loop on the chorus of FEELING. These are much more prominent on phones. I have some time to kill as you can tell but it's worth listening on good cans. I like the artificial tinnitus on Sorted too...

However, this does not prove that Paul McCartney is dead;)

There's also a sound after Bar Italia and that same sound is in front of The Fear.

There's that little bit of bird song on Bar Italia but that's not really hidden. Although it did take me a few listens to get it.

That thing  with Bar Italia/The Fear is really freaky though.

What is that bit of speech hidden away when Jarvis says "Look out, they'll tear your insides out..." in Common People?

 Apparently it was intentional. Jarvis wanted one album to pick up where the other left off.

On original copies of "This is Hardcore", the end of "Bar Italia" can be found by manually rewinding the CD a couple of seconds. On the reissues, it is just there.

I like the little bit of bird song and the flute at the start of Bar Italia- it's quite sweet. There's the sound of a car going past at the end of Bar Italia and I'm just remembering there IS a similar sound just before The Fear starts- thanks for pointing that out.
Re. the strange spoken part under 'like a dog lying in the corner', from the days of DR. Pulp, I remember it being said that during the recording of the acoustic guitar part, Jarvis asked for his headphone monitors to be turned up and in the interim was just sort of wittering to himself but they kept it. Another thing that I've never heard mentioned is the 'tutting' sound on Common People after the first 'you wanna see whatever common people see' . It's quite loud and funny. I love things like this and I'd forgotten how many little details there are on Different Class.

I think this may inspire me to have another listen to Different Class in it's full stereophonic glory. Actually, even just listening to Common People with headphones again has reminded me of how great the production is and how much is actually going on. Jarvis's "wittering" during "they will bite you and never warn you, look out" is great. I have always noticed it but, for some reason, never been inspired to actually question it.

They always use the smashing glass noise from "Disco 2000" when they play it live as well I've noticed. Seems they consider it to be 'important'.

In fact, and this may sound like a really weird thing to admit...I think Different Class may be the album I am least familiar with!

I hadn't spun it for years. I love His 'N' Hers for its etheral, cavernous production whilst Different Class is quite dark, moody and claustrophobic. It's weird but the sentiments expressed on Pencil Skirt and I Spy are so negative and unpleasant- not identifiable or rousing, he just sounds like a shit. I hadn't really considered that til now. I know I Spy is a fantasy but what was he on about exactly?
On a more positive note Common People is great- just a wall of sound, you can never quite tell exactly what's going on- a lot of synth tracks for sure, though I would've made the violin more prominent and beefed up the bass drum but that 'laser gun' synth- just brilliant!

 I always kinda assumed that was some piece of kit being switched on, that was just left in, God knows what it really is... sounds like an electric switch being pressed in and released perhaps?

Mile End has some fine semi-mumbled bits in it, all voiced, as far as I can tell, by Cocker. Someone asking to borrow a tenner, if I remember rightly and other very silly bits.

I associated the sound in common people with a computer mouse being clicked - no clue why just sounds a bit similar

cant be arsed searching for this and i might be 10 years behind, but at the beginning of the 2011 live shows, its Jarvis (using a vocoder) saying please understand, we don't want no trouble, we just want the right to be different, thats all.

just thought i would share

When I bought the remaster, I thought it was a defect because copies of "This Is Hardcore" made in North America never had that part of the CD you could rewind. I think it's annoying, but one could edit it out for a mix CD, I suppose.
