There is an article about Jimi Hendrix's Third Stone From the Sun excerpt below:
From Cracked: "But what's even trippier about it is that if you adjust the speed of your record player to play the song like a 45 rpm vinyl (a format usually reserved for singles), you can suddenly hear two aliens talking by radio as they approach Earth. What's an alien message doing in an album about simple topics like kidnapping ladies and burning stuff? Nobody knows."
I actually found this in a different way-remember back in the day of handheld tape recorders and boom boxes? I had a double tape unit boom box and you could record from one cassette to the other. Well it just happened to have a high speed recording button so you could record from one cassette to the other in about half the time, which is probably about equivalent to a 78 rpm to 45 rpm, and you could hear it as well. Lo and behold for some reason or another I am recording Third Stone From the Sun from one cassette to the other a voila' the little alien voices mentioned above....
There are several more in the link below, including several from Radiohead and the latest Tool album, they omitted the Flaming Lips Zaireeka which is four separate discs meant to be played on four different sound systems for juxtaposed sound, link below as well.
