Members Magpel Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 The Matching Tie and Handkerchief trick got my dad and I so bad...we had a huge argument about whether I had actually heard the "there's evidence" rock and roll historical agriculture piece, he insisting that I must have heard it elsewhere or made it up. Finally, he figured it out. The three sided album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author MikeRivers Posted December 18, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 I know what an "Easter egg" (in this context) is, but I don't understand any of that linked article. Can someone of the right generation please summarize it? I left this stuff off with "Paul is dead" in about 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the stranger Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 Cool. Some of those are really interesting. Especially this one: http://www.ohmpie.com/imageEncode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members veracohr Posted December 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 I know what an "Easter egg" (in this context) is, but I don't understand any of that linked article. Can someone of the right generation please summarize it? I left this stuff off with "Paul is dead" in about 1970. I'm not sure what's difficult to understand. Jimi Hendrix recorded some dialogue relating to aliens, slowed it down and mixed it into a song.Tool made 3 songs that when mixed together properly make a new, coherent song.Aphex Twin put a sound in a song that when run through a spectrograph produces a picture of the artist.Som new wave band put a binary string on a vinyl record and named the "song" with the instructions for properly decoding it into a voice. Among others. Some of these smell of coincidental, urban-legendy "Paul is dead" and Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz stuff, but some are true intentional Easter eggs.

Members rasputin1963 Posted December 20, 2010 Members Share Posted December 20, 2010 The pythion 3-sided album blew my mind, when in bought it, circa 1976 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mwestenberg Posted December 20, 2010 Members Share Posted December 20, 2010 Pink Floyd's The Wall is a giant loop - the phrase at the end is cut off and the cutoff sound is what starts the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philbo Posted December 20, 2010 Members Share Posted December 20, 2010 I noticed (after having the album for about 13 years) that the Alan Parsons CD 'On Air' has a data CD hidden inside. Well, not really hidden, but I never noticed it. Anyway, it has a very strange semi-trippin' sort of 'history of aviation' thing going on. I don't know how to describe it... You get a bunch of hot air balloons floating across the screen, and each time you click on one, an aviation article or photo pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
