Aspies For Freedom

I love to play phonograph records at lower that rated speed.  That is, playing a 33 record at 16 rpm, or playing a 45 record at 33 rpm or 16 rpm.  Here is a list of my favorites from my record collection.  Many of them sound absolutely surreal at low speed.  Does anyone else do this, or am I just weird beyond my aspieness?

Abba - SOS
Berlin - No More Words
Blondie - Heart of Glass
The Cars - Good Times Roll, Moving in Stereo
Depeche Mode - (just about anything)
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Genesis - The Brazilian
Laura Branigan - Gloria, Self Control
Miami Sound Machine - Conga
Nena - 99 Luftballons
Pat Benatar - We Belong
Scandal - Goodbye to You
Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia
Stacey Q - Dancing Nowhere
Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen
Vangelis - Chariots of Fire
Hooked on Classics - (entire album)
The Music of Cosmos - (entire album)

I used to do it when my old player worked. It had 33/45/78 rpm. I was recording a lot of compilation tapes way back in the 80ies and early 90ies. The song Halloween by Sonic Youth is on a 12inch single (A-side is a song called Flower) and compi tape with the 33rpm version of the 45rpm song is still around here somewhere.

I've also got some recording of the run off groove. Works only with some players though...

Anyone noticed any satanic messages?!

None that I've heard, but I'm know there's lots of songs with subliminal messages when they are played backwards.

A good song to try, though it is probably too new (1993) to be available on a phonograph record, is "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star.  It's already slow enough to lull the listener into a trance!

I've got a tape with a recording made with a faulty tape recorder. The recording got mixed up with the fast forward function so 1 song that's only a few minutes long take up, I don't really know how much tape, maybe 4 times the length; 33rpm = 8rpm, or something like that, and it's a blues to begin with...
