Can anyone tell me what vocal effect(s) are used in BLM - specifically around the 5.30 section?

Kind of sounds like backwards and forwards reverb with very faint flanging but I'm not sure.

Cheers,

basically it's a lot of top end with the bottom rolled off then de-ess the shit out of it. Once you have that, reverse the vocal and print it with a straight hall reverb set to about 3 seconds and the mix set to 100% wet.

Then reverse that. You'll end up with forwards vocals rushing towards you. All you've got to do then is match it up with the original vocals and you've got classic Deep Thought.  ;)

Crikey!

Is that a well-known technique, or do you just think of really obscure ways to get new sounds?

It sounds a bit like the technique Rush used on Geddy Lee's vocals during the second part of Natural Science. Does anyone know what I mean?

Yep.

It's only taken 29 years for me to find out how it was done.
Thanks Jem!

The bit I couldn't get right was the timing. Lining them back up is really difficult. :(
