you scared the shit out of me, i was listening to ocean machine for the first time (love it) but i was listening to the bonus track and THAT SCREAM AT THE END!!! and it goes for ages too!!!!!! i was cringing in pain!!!

thanks devy for the greatest music on the planet, fuck you for traumatising me

Hahah, it got me several times, too.

Once I was listening to The Death of Music on my computer, when somebody sent me a piece of home-brew music and asked me to give it a listen. I told her I had to finish TDOM first (and she agreed of course) and I listened to Things beyond things after that, too.
Then I pressed pause, and listened to the song she sent me in another audio player.

After that, I unpaused.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Yea its got me a few times aswell, haha.

I love it its like Dev's saying, So there is my beautiful mellow album...but AARRRGGGHHH! I'm still metal!

It's sent the cat flying in the air a few times.....

put on Ocean Machine right before i went to bed one night,woke up in the early morning and put it back on....let it play....i had just fallen back asleep when..."YYYAAAAHHHHRRRR!!!!"....jumped up in my bed looked around with eyes WIDE OPEN thinkin WTF i had just heard!.....then just laughed after i realized what it was

Hahahaha! I never remember that thing is coming!

I remember I was driving home (I had been out of town for the day) at around 2 am...it was a 3 hour drive, and towards the end of the second hour I was getting rather drowsy. I had "Ocean Machine" queued up to play...and when the scream at the very end came...let's just say I was wide awake for the rest of the drive!

its the exclamation sound on my PC...
makes it really painfull if you click the wrong thing...

Haha, that one hits me from time to time. Listening with headphones at night, totally focused on something else..then AAAAHHH HEARTATTACK!!!

Lol, just two nights ago I was demoing my new headphones on Ocean Machine. Lovin' it. Things Beyond Things ends and I was marvelling at how nice my headphones were when

BAM! The scream. I think I nearly shit myself a little when I jumped.

two words: Heart Attack

[djskrimp]

Weird, I always crank up the volume a bit at work in anticipation of the scream. I love the "oh god, not again" look on coworkers. They ask me why I like it so much, and I say, "Go ahead, TRY to do that. You can't. No one can, and the way it sounds is beyond human...like a cyberbanshee straight from Scotland, to take YOUR SOULS!!!" They hate me at work for that.

yeah..... i was really tired once and fell asleep somewhere during the death of music... and had a nice wake up to that.... almost freaking died... scared the living crap out of me

It got me. I jumped so high! Then I had my dad listen to the whole thing, and he jumped as well. I love that scream.

That wasn't funny, Dev.
