It does not upset me when Pink Floyd fans don't believe or are not interested in the Publius Enigma. But when they call someone a "numbskull" (you know who you are ) for it, it offends me just a little bit. So here is some stuff that I hope will cause a retraction.
The following was taken from a post at an Enigma site.
"When 'Pulse' was released on cassette there was a lot of dead space at the end of the second tape. To fill it up, the Floyd (or maybe just a really bored recording engineer)
put together what I call the "Pulse environment." It runs about 22 minutes long and incorporates various sound effects, some of which you would recognize from TDB ["The Division Bell"]...but what do I hear at right about the 20 minute mark?...A SECRET MESSAGE! The last 2 minutes contain..a morse
code message being tapped out underneath a voice reading a solar weather forecast...I slowed the message down to half speed and took it to a fellow Floydian friend of mine who is into ham radios...He told me that he was able to hear two things. The first part read, "As it is said," and the second part read, "there is an enigma." Very cool indeed!"
Here's more proof: At a Pink Floyd concert in New Jersey, flashing lights for seen that clearly read "PUBLIUS." This, and the word ENIGMA, has also been seen on the widescreen behind the stage.
Also, on the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" mini-disc, on the artwork for 'Learning to Fly' the word ENIGMA can be seen. On the same pressings, on the artwork for 'Yet Another Movie' the word PUBLIUS can be seen.
Now THAT, Madcap Diamond, is how you get to 100 posts! Have a different, maybe outlandish
opinion, people have fits, and you got to defend your stance. :grin:
