I can't figure the lyrics (if you can call them that) from After Sunglasses. The ones that come at about 2:38 in the coachella 09 rip, and then at 4:20 (beecoz I am french and I kent speek english veri wel !)
Any idea ?

I just listened to this song all day in my head yesterday, and so this morning I listened to it 2-3 times.
However, I still cannot say what the lyrics are.
Sounds sort of like "Man! This style (guy?) is low." But I'm 99.9999% sure that that is not correct.

I'm always getting something like "... just lettin' grow". I love those vocals and I caught myself several times "singing" these ones on the street. Can't finguring out especially the first vocal part though. But i do it like kids do: singing as you hear it. Lalalalaaaa_a lalalala.
Anyways, don't think these vox are meant to be real vocals in a traditional sense rather additional "sounds" accompanying the badass bassline.

Now that I've been think about this for awhile, I think it is saying something like "Oh hell, This sky is low", which would make sense if 'After Sunglasses' is really called 'Escaping Velocity'.

I always thought it sounded like "One day; this night is through". But again, it's almost certainly not that.

To clarify:

After 3 pairs of headphones and a couple of ear bleeds, I have concluded the following on the beginning of Escape Velocity...

It sounds like beth!

There are two voices in there that are mixed in:

The first one.....'Lifting me higher'
The second one....'Your love keeps lifting me'

Am I correct?

And yes! It is from 'after sunglasses'! Go to 4:20 and listen...


Good job! Although that still leaves the Q-Tip-esque vocals to decipher...

Yeah, that track is just brutal! I mean the track after Tiga's "Sunglasses At Knight". It's one of the most brutal and amazing tracks I've ever heard on chemical DJ sets.. Another one was that "Animal Track" I heard at Summercase, Madrid. I was arguing with everyone about their DJ sets and now their DJ sets are as much awesome as their live sets. Peace!

Yay, Caddy's back!

I don't know about where you come from but where I'm from 'Brutal' is not a good way to describe something. I get what you mean but I felt like you were leaving yourself open to another dissing! :D

I think "Brutal" is okay, especially for this track.
I mean, look at the dubstep scene--they like tracks like "sick" (when that was cool) and much more so "Filthy" and stuff like that.

Bam!

Don't Think listened to the Itunes U.K preview, doesn't play the voice parts, but the 30 sec preview is so amazing!

The "Q-Tip" part is definitely saying "Don't think this night is through".
Also this (sorry Probass!) is probably the crown jewel of pre-Further speculation:
