I've already commented that the maggot noise was out of sync with its
movements and I suspected that it had been laid in during the editing
long past Chris' involvement. It is also very likely that it had been
cleaned up as well, as that was my experience with my recordings in
the past. If they can mess the track up with inappropriate music in an
anechoic chamber they can do anything. :-)
