OK, I'm listening to Brain Salad Surgery tonight. Been awhile since I've had this album on, and something I had forgotten about was that sort of semi-dropout during Karn Evil 9 First Impression Part One. The entire band drops out except for Greg's vocal for a split second about three quarters of the way in. I'm sure everyone knows the bit I'm talking about. Presumably this was the result of someone hitting the "solo" button on that particular channel on the board just for a half second or whatever.
Now the question is, does anyone know if that was deliberate or just an accident. I can very well see, in the middle of a mixing session, someone accidentally hitting the button, then quickly hitting it again to bring the band back in.
And then the other question would be, once it happened (assuming it wasn't planned) did they intend to use that on the record? Was it one of those things where they were in such a hurry there was no time to go back and do a new mix or what?
