Would Ordinary People Recognize Genius? An Experiment..

 Images hidden in music
Images hidden in music
Led Zep, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Britney Spears may have hidden secret backwards messages in their music, but beardy grinning weirdo music man Richard D James (or rather Aphex Twin) went one further and hid pictures in his music. Presumably just because he's clever enough to do it.

A chap who may or may not go by the name of Bastwood goes one further by finding the things. picked by pocksucket 4 months ago
