Images hidden in music Posted: 5 months ago by pocksucket
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.
