Still Breathing

Ask Katy

Dear Katy, Well Duran Duran are legends and I am psyched to see a couple of the upcoming U.S. shows. My question is about the song "Still Breathing." Am I imagining things or in the spooky intro to the song (Nick's genius at work) are there monk like hymn voices in the background. You can only really hear it if the track is turned way up. Maybe it's just an effect. Don't worry, I don't have a copy on vinyl so I won't be playing Astronaut "backward."  Ben

HI BEN
ACCORDING TO THE BAND, THERE ARE SEVERAL LAYERS OF SOUND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG, ONE OF WHICH DOES HAVE A CHORAL ELEMENT. THIS IS LIKELY WHAT YOU ARE IDETIFYING AS A GAGGLE OF MONKS
