Our neighbour upstairs is very familiar with that entity.

By the look of things, White Eagle seems a much more likeable guy than Mr. Choronzon...
The Exit album is still a big mystery... "Exit" - to what place?

Regarding '3am At The Border Of The Marsh from Okefenokee'....I was reading a book on UFOs about 10 years ago when it described a famous sighting in USA....which happened on marshland in Okefenokee, at 3am in the morning !!! So maybe this track is named after a famous UFO sighting.

And here's another math equation:

It's on the label of the Transsiberia CD.

TD cover art+album titles+TD music = alchemical music that transfigurates the listener and helps them enter deep soundscapes of surreal malliablity.

There's a quote from Gustav Meyrink in the "Tyranny of Beauty" booklet:
Is my body something other than a swarming sea of living cells who revolve to a hereditary habit of millions of years, around one hidden point?"
Yesterday I found out the quote is from Meyrink's novel
The Green Face. It appears towards the end of chapter 6. I like the book so far, but needed a bit of time getting used to the writing style and language.
On edit: Corrected the chapter number. Need new glasses!

There may be no Easter Eggs on TD DVD's so far, but otherwise... Edgar Froese = Easter Egg man.
So far I had no luck with decoding the binary numbers from the I-Box scan. I'm not even sure that if there's something hidden in them, it could be found by seeing them as binary numbers... For example, it could be just a "pattern" of some kind - maybe even a drum machine pattern? Or the magic cowbell pattern at the beginning of Rubycon Part III ...?

On the bottom row of the album cover is shows
001011001110101000 ... the problem I see with that binary string
is that you wouldn't add two zeros onto the left hand side of
1011001110101000 because, it's the same number!
So, is the top, upside down row, which is
1111001010100101011
the first half of a larger string?
Added together it would be :
1111001010100101011001011001110101000
....which now perhaps requires a decimal or hexadecimal conversion?
Hexadecimal base-16 will give you letters to play with.
