"A is to b as b is to c" How the f***

Post by modman »

In the song close to the end, The sample that says "I'll be gone about a week. Oh, by the way, I brought..." can be played backwards and forwards and sound completely the same..... I'm having trouble figuring out how they achieved this. Can anyone shed some light on how they did this?

Listen to it again, The time it says it forward, if you play that exact part backwards it will play as it's playing forward...I was trying it with the vinyl I have.

this. listen to it again and you'll hear "I've been gone about a week" then immediately after he says it backwards.

What you're implying does in fact work with "We love you all" it's a near perfect audio palindrome. Backwards you hear "All we love you"

A couple years ago, I've posted this analysis about the track:



I always use information or from the Twoism forum, or from bocpages as well. You should keep checking the channel. I am of posting between times, but when I do, they are usually interesting :wink:

This is their scariest song imo. I skipped it for about a year before finally appareciating how fucked up it is.
