I can remember hearing about albums (particularly the Beatles) in the 70s that had "Secret messages" in them if you played them backwards.... well, i thought i'd give it a shot. While almost all of it was just jargon and sounds that made no sense what-so-ever, there were a few things that almost sounded like words and phrases: IN THE BEGINNING (TSODE) "...and dug the wind...you don't know anything...you don't even remember, even in darkness...you need to know the book, you're not experiencing it...the Egypts and the Islams...in the opening, where all kinds of us are breathing...hurry the delays...city of God..." PILTDOWN MAN THEME FROM TUBULAR BELLS (11:50 of part 2) "...who are you...what the hell are you doing..." Like i said, i know its silly, but i had to say it anyway. Anyone else every done something this dumb? -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

By the way, how exactly were you able to play them backwards? Not that I would do it you understand (wouldn't want to risk wrecking my CD collection now) I'm just curious.

I have an internal microphone as well, so it's not like i was holding the speakers up to the microphone , it's all connected internally. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect.

I sampled the Piltdown Man section (TB Part 2 from 11:50) and reversed it. When you do that, and the bit has REALLY been reversed, you recognize that IMMEDIATELY, because the reversed version sounds much more natural than the original. Well...this wasn't the case here. So I still believe that the Piltdown Man voice was recorded normally, and was NOT reversed.(It says something like "Flubber wach da wonda wall".) I'll check TSODE when I have time.
