About This Track

“Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled” features a speech by a man named Do who was the leader of the Heaven’s Gate religious cult. This U.S. cult believed that they were from another planet and only visiting earth. In order to return to their own “dimension” before the earth was “recycled” they all committed mass suicide. The words are taken from the video they made before killing themselves to explain to the rest of the world why they had done it.

The song is separated into two parts. The first part is named “Winding Shot (Summer 1981).” The second part is named “Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before it is Recycled” and is instrumental.

The sample voice in Last Chance says:
“Let me say that our mission here at this time is about to come to a close in the next few days. We came from distant space, even what some might call somewhat of another dimension, and we are about to return from whence we came. It requires, if you move into that evolutionary kingdom, that you leave behind everything of human ways, human behavior, human ignorance, human misinformation. If I would title this tape, it would be ‘Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled’.”

    @ squig: why does it matter what samples were used on this song? OR the religion/nonreligion of the people here? Trolls like you are why...ah forget it.

    it's worth to mention, that track contains speech of sect Heaven's Gate leader. he told in it that "delivery" from world which will be destructed is possible only with them. one day 39 people dressed in dark clothes and black shoes commited suicide.
