Greg;

Welcome to the net.

There is a radio station (christian) that is heard in San Diego (it is
in L.A.) that did some research on backwards masking.

The conclusion was that the english language is such that spoken
backwards it, sometimes, can be construed to make words.

This is not to say that some people have not injected backwards
masking to get there point across.

What is does say is that if one listens long enough one can make words
"appear" in the garbage.

My opinion is that 1) I could probably hear anything in records played
backward, yes even christian records and 2) there is so much pure
trash on the records played forward that why should the musicians go
thru all that work (backwards masking) when it's right there for all
the world to hear.


Again welcome to the net.  There are some interesting conversations
here from time to time.
