3.7a Special Effects

One of the cool effects I -can- explain is the 'reverse echo' used on the "bang 
bang" part of Silverfuck, as well as other songs.  The track is recorded, then 
flipped backwards, and echo/reverb is added.  It's then flipped back to 
forwards, so the effect is that of echoing -into- the note.  Pretty cool, eh?
:-)  This is also heavily used by the Cure (see "End" from Wish).

Once again, refer to the Equipment section: it may have what you're looking for.
