Prince in reverse

Maybe it's a strong desire to hear new material, knowing that it's only the vault from here on in, but I've been listening to a lot of his songs in reverse recently. That surely can't be heathy! Most sound like mangled garbage but you get the odd few that reveal a new beauty – especially the ones that already have some reversed elements or messages hidden in them when played forward. Some of them have been stuck in my head for days.

I've created a mix of the best. If you fancy a game there are 12 songs hidden in there (no cheating!).

If you have any suggestions to others that sound great in reverse I'd love to hear them.

Pretty cool. I have a backwards version of Girl and The Dance Electric on the ipod.

"I like to watch."

Oddly, considering I'm a faithful-to-the-core horror fan, when I listened to the backward singing on Darling Nikki, it sounded horrifying to me. I never played it again. I think I watch too many demon movies. Lol.

I'll post up a full track-list later but the second track is Girl.

So close! The last track is God is Alive (gospel mix), not Positivity. But full marks on the rest.

I didn't expect anyone to find the 12th as it's only a snippet of Paisley Park between Girl and Starfish & Coffee. When you play the intro to the b-side version backwards it sounds like it says "Love is here".
