Backmasking or Backward Masking is a method wherein a message is recorded backwards onto a track that is meant to be played forwards..! Cool....isn't it?
This technique of encryption was popularized by famous rock band The Beatles in their album Revolver and since then artists have been using it for humorous and other artistic effects.It is also used to censor some phrases for a 'clean release' of a song....!
Here is a video to illustrate this technique.
Pink Floyd has himself used this technique in his song Empty Spaces from the album 'The Wall'
This technique has been linked with controversies like musicians promoting Satanism and all but nevertheless this is a great recording technique.....!
