when i was an unemployed alcoholic i used to turn found cassette tapes around backwards to see what they sounded like. found a bunch of these the other day: hits: 2nd boyz 2 men album; rush "tom sawyer"; steppenwolf "magic carpet ride"; wout steenhuis "moon river" on hawaiian slide guitar; anyone else ever wasted their time similarly?

I went to a party a long time ago, the music was kinda boring mid ninetys house, (josh wink, junior vasquez, etc.. ) but me and a freind discovered the cheap soundlab record decks had a handy feature of going backwards whilst still being able to use pitch adjust, so we spent a happy 3 hours between 2am and 5am mixing backwards house music.. maybe i was to drunk to notice but it sure sounded good at the time ...

Recently I found out about the "Time Warp" facility in the shareware audio editor Goldwave - I've been spending hours speeding up mp3's, while preserving their original pitch. Tom Waits' "I Don't Want To Grow Up" sounds demonic put through this, if you get the settings wrong.

twenty-four years pass...

I've had an idea for a mix where I will reverse everything at the midway point - so! what music sounds equally good backwards, at regular speed? I imagine this will mean plenty of dance music.
