Nope! I've been enjoying other puzzles.

Did a lot of transcription work on the Voynich, got into the 120 club for The World's Greatest Treasure Hunt : Quest for the Golden Eagle, and started learning how to break Playfairs without a key (or a hill-climber or simulated annealing algorithm).

To be honest, the Voynich looks like an easier solve because you know the end-game. PE will never see a solution because it was badly made.

Didn't think I'd hear from you again. Agree and disagree. Agreed it will never see a solution so to speak. It's not a riddle, not a puzzle, it's an enigma. A glass darkly, showing a reflection. Even the Publius posts, which seemed to be riddling, were really only pointing to the Publius Enigma, which pointed to the glass darkly. Does that make it a waste of time? Did you ever tackle the mystery in Inception? It's the same damn thing. But it has a solution, which points inexorably to the Enigma. |

Never saw it; though I've been meaning to in order to hear the the score. I'm quite a fan of Hans,
In order to approach the PE fairly, I firmly believe that the official responses must be taken at face value. The band had no involvement, and by extention, the themes of the album are of lesser importance. The puzzle maker was someone interested in making puzzles, who may have worked at EMI. The album was done when the puzzle was added (last two weeks, if I recall). So, most of the artwork done, album done save mastering, and the vocals certainly would have been in place. This leaves really surface stuff to add a puzzle.
Post Production effects and vocals such as "Enigma" in Cluster One, the boxing count, "The Key", etc. as well as Earth Sounds, Ring around the Rosie, a helicopter, etc.
Superfluous Artwork such as the page heads, braille, targets, etc.
There's an incredible problem with hiding something in audio, in that, once you add something in production, it is always perceptually there. You can pull the faders down to zero, and if you are in them room, you will still hear it. It's impossible to hide audio via levels: only through masking. I'm not sure they did this well.

"such as "Enigma" in Cluster One"
What did I miss?

Whole bunch of whispering when played back in reverse mixed under the earth sounds. Stupidly difficult to hear, but there. That's kinda what I was getting at.

Something like that; doesn't really matter.
