I might go so far as to say it's my favorite track of all 17 or so episodes I've heard so far. I've been meaning to get the rest - that thread is godly!
Ha, not only that but he plays it back to back with I Have Put Out The Light, the track I compared it to right back at the start of this discussion. Shame I already know in advance that the two are nowhere near being in key, and thus should never be mixed. Prog DJs who can't mix in key = massive fail.

Find mixing in key all the time that vital eh? I read a statement like that and the mental image I get is of a crotchety 19th century piano teacher slapping a baton upside a kid's head for too many harmonic leaps while practicing his Chopin impromptu.

It's essential in music that's designed entirely and specifically for long harmonic blends. You won't find me complaining if acid techno or breaks DJs go easy on the key matching, because those guys earn their money in different ways.

prog and trance just sound gross if the keys don't match at all during the mix.

Like most of you all I know exactly where the female sample and the name came from on the PQM - You Are Sleeping track but I never figured out where the vocals came from or what exactly inspired them.

It was some NY radio show I think? Luke Chable got asked where the vocals are from and even he doesn't really know anymore. But that what makes them so great, they're so emotional and yet genuinly mysterious, something which is pretty rare in the music of the internet age.
Also, I see this thread as an invitation to post some MCprog
Love this track. I don't like as much of this stuff as I used to two or three years ago, but still love this one.

Where from?

Well being a Morrissey and Smith fan it was common knowledge for me.
Dr Konstantin Raudive (1906-1974), a student of Carl Jung, was a Latvian psychologist who taught at the Uppsala University in Sweden. He was preoccupied with parapsychological interests all his life (especially with the possibility of life after death).
Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) were investigated by him and a German parapsychologist Hans Bender. Following the publication of Raudive's book on his research (Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead, 1971) these phenomena are now often referred to as "Raudive Voices", who claimed to be able to record the voices of the dead in his 1971 book, Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead.
Now for the actual sample. What you are hearing is the translator that happened to be a woman explaining what was being said as Dr Konstantin Raudive and his his colleague spoke in a few different languages during this experiment and the so called EVP voices from the dead being recorded also spoke in a few different languages as well, so there is a woman explaining everything being said in English after you hear it in another language.
.Click the link below and download Side 1 (MP3)
(it's only 10 minutes long) and skip to 6:22 in the sample if you don't feel like hearing it all.
The sample is mostly used in the PQM Original Version and some other Versions but it is also used sparingly in the PQM Meets Luke Chable Vocal Pass Version as well. I think you first hear it at 44 seconds into the song before the lyrics kick in and then a few other times throughout the song.
The MP3 sample you are hearing is a recording that came from some kind of audio recording that came with the 1971 Book mentioned above. It also was part of a bonus disc you would receive for taking up a subscription to a UK Magazine back in the day. And the person above is also correct as it was shown on a show in New York Radio or Television but I do not know the time and date of that. But this sample has already been used word for word by The Smiths in their 1985 b side song Rubber Ring that later received much notoriety for being such a personal song into Morrissey's thoughts about his hardcore of fans growing out of his adolescent music at the time and this song was his nudge to let these fan how he felt about it. The song later appeared on The Smith's - Louder Than Bombs Album. And countless other newer compilation CDs. There is a great chance the members of PQM were fans of The Smiths and tracked the Origin of the sample or perhaps they were into Dr. Konstantin Raudive. That is up in the air but what I did find interesting is what I just learned about Dr. Konstantin Raudive attempts in trying to reach the dead.
read below.
The initial point of the project is Dr Konstantin Raudive’s attempts to break the boundaries between the living and the dead. Raudive made 70 000 tape-recordings claiming he was communicating with voices from the other side.
Each night begins with a theatre performance of approximately one hour, where two directors and four actors work with Raudive’s methods alongside other texts and material; from Ingmar Bergman to O.J. Simpson.
The reason we use the theatrical performance as an initiation for the audience, is to make sure we create some kind of common reference and understanding of the main topic, i.e. perception.
^^^ I almost wonder if the lyrics to this song could have been from one very odd performance... but I doubt this for a few reasons.
Here is The Smith song that contains the exact same sample. If you can not stand the song then just skip to 3:32

I know, that was what I said at first. Like most of the people on here I know where the female sample came from and the title of the song but not where the lyrics came from or what inspired them. :)
