Reverse Speech / Backward Masking

I've stumbled upon some very interesting, wierd and friggin stuff that I would like to share. It is about the messages hidden in songs. Absurd as it may seem, but read on.

An excerpt from the official site of Reverse Speech Technologies

Music Reversal
Backward messages in music (commonly known as Backward Masking) have been a controversy ever since the late 60s, when messages were found backwards on some Beatles' albums that hinted Paul McCartney had died. The controversy raged extensively in the late 70s and early 80s when religious fundamentalists claimed that Satan possessed the minds of singers, causing them to insert messages backwards into albums. As we now know, many of these backward messages were in fact examples of Reverse Speech in music. Speech reversals occur naturally in all forms of speech, sung or spoken. This site lists some examples of Reverse Speech in music.
