Trivia/Info

  • The weird effect TMBG uses on the thank you is them rising and lowering the pitch really fast. This effect is achieved by turning tape reels by hand, thereby drawing tape across the heads at an uneven speed, or by turning the pitch modulation wheel on a 4 track cassette recorder around.
