"Insomniak" - "Im Asleep" Backwards
Right ive never got over this scince back in the day on Acid when I stumbled across this when mixing
DJ PC - Insomniak
The Vocal part "Insomniak" If you play it backwards is says "Im asleep" and vice versa
What is this all about - still to this day i find it very spooky infact it scares the shit out of me TBH
Are their any other tunes where similar happens?

Re: "Insomniak" - "Im Asleep" Backwards
i don't have it to listen to right now but i'm sure that the "asleep" was definitely another vocal sample. only the "I'm" comes from the "insomniak" sample reversed.FibreOptic wrote:The Vocal part "Insomniak" If you play it backwards is says "Im asleep" and vice versa

Whenever the word Insomniak was invented i doubt very much audio was available - so how the fuck does this happen? It's the opposite to being asleep for christ sake
Im off to boil my heed

We've just recorded a voice clip of Phil saying "Insomniak" and played backards is does sound like "Im a sleep" deffo not an overlayed sample

Ive reversed it in the clip above - does sound pretty much like I'm asleep - but in the actual tune when it says 'Im asleep', they've layered an extra bit to emphesise the word sleep - pretty amazing even without the layering bit, although not quite as clearFibreOptic wrote:Deffo not an overlaid sampleRenegadeGenius wrote:In the main tune yep, but the bit I posted above is it being reversed in cool edit (as u can hear it doesn't sound as clear as the bits in the actual tune - due to the extra sample).Beagle wrote:It's bollox. the 'sleep' bit is clearly an overlaid sample.
