Anyone else try this with 10,000 Days?

I read somewhere online that both Wings for Marie songs were to be played simultaneously. If you set 04 - 10,000 Days in one "playlist" and set 03 Wings for Marie and 11 Viginti Tres back to back in another "playlist" and play both at the same time, they're supposed to go together somehow. I tried this in Audacity and the beginning sounded great, the middle (where both songs reach their loudest parts) sounded like a mess, then from the end of Wings all the way through Viginti it sounded pretty cool.

Here's a pic to show how the songs fit together. I set the cursor right about where Wings ends and Viginti starts. Wings + Viginti on top, 10,000 Days on bottom.

Tool never ceases to amaze me.

Oh wait, I just read elsewhere that Viginti should come first and Wings second. I'll have to try that.

AVC: Do you ever jump online to read fans' interpretations of your songs?

MJK: Oh, God, no.

AVC: It's amazing, the depth that people go into. The general idea seems to be that you're gradually revealing clues with each new album.

MJK: Isn't that great? They're playing it backwards, and they're like, "You've got to get a Slurpee, but only half-full, and when you're drinking the Slurpee, right at that last slurp, the rhythm of the slurp coincides with?" My God. Are you kidding me?

AVC: Some people think there are three tracks on 10,000 Days that supposedly form one hidden track that's the key to the whole album. It's as if people want to believe there's going to be some ultimate aesthetic payoff.

MJK: [Laughs.] We can barely decide whether we're going to do a baseball cap or a beanie. You know what I mean? Now, granted, if you subscribe to the whole spiritual, energetic level, when you get into that weird, meditative state? I'm trying to think of the word? Sufis? I don't remember?the whirling dervishes. When you get into that weird state, at some point, your body clicks out, and you have a weird out-of-body experience, and so you can tap into those things unconsciously. So if people are reading into those kind of things that basically had nothing to do with us, that are just us clicking in a moment and being true to that whirling-dervish process of emoting with each other, some of that stuff just might naturally, accidentally come out. But it's not in any way a product of our design.

stupidity and fanboys never cease to amaze me

Tried flipping them around, sounds about the same, there are parts that get painfully messy but the coolest part is at the end of both 10,000 and Wings, Maynard says the same things word for word and they kind of "fit" on top of each other.

I think Viginti fits over anything :p I'm going to play around with syncing more and try it with some other songs and bands.
