Bravo, IED, for your summation of the backwards Kate-Stuff.
As a corollary, could you summarize any other "hidden" messages?
The secret line from "Experiment IV" is an example. Does it sound
to you as if she's switching channels every fraction of a second
on that one? It does to me, and in fact, the message can be heard
much clearer if one switches one's audio equipment into "mono".
Footnote to the Backwards-masked stuff: The band I'm in, Fred In A
Phone Booth, recently recorded a song for the Bloom County "Billy
And The Boingers" Contest - we backwards masked the line:
"No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney."
I've enlisted my friend who owns a tape recorder capable of playing
things backwards in the cause for finding out what all that stuff on
The Ninth Wave is...

Does one send to love-hounds, or love-hounds-request? Arrgh!
Having just acquired an inexpensive quad cassette deck this week, I immediately
put on my copy of HoL backwards to see if I could discover any clue to what IED
is trying to figure out in the backwards track on "Watching you without Me".
One thing I found is that the backing tracks "You can't hear me, etc." are
acually saying "You can't hear me" backwards in those sections near the end
of the song where you can't understand what they say (in the section with the
"choppy" vocals ("Help me baby..."?)).
Only thing I could figure out about the "mystery" track is the first few words
sound (to me) like "Don't need no symphony being there" (phonetically speaking),
and the last 4 words really DO sound like "knocking us, knocking us".
Oh well. So much for my first posting here.
