We all know the backwards lyrics used on Fire On High from Face The Music - "The music is reversible, but time is not - turn back, turn back, turn back...". In the spirit of his teenage heroes (The Beatles), JL had again included some reversed lyrics; apparently the (almost unachievable) aim was to produce a 'sound bite' that appeared to say something vaguely meaningful backwards.
Anyhow, when listening to the song, I definitely hear snippets which appear to be words - "now this, now this, now this" and "azimuth".
What do you hear?
Note: definitely no satanic messages please! That myth was exploded decades ago.....(unless it is funny!)
Or any other examples from other ELO/JL songs?

The other obvious one is - duh! - Secret Messages, in the intro.

There are different recordings of an orchestra sampled at the beginning and end of Mr. Radio that is edited and played backwards. Bluebird Is Dead , The guitar solo in the middle of the song, at 2:44 is a backwards recording. The introduction to Down Home Town features a backwards lyric taken from Waterfall. The line is "Face the mighty waterfall - Face the mighty Waterfall" The introduction to It's Over is the end of Mr. Blue Sky reversed. Yours Truly 2095 , at the very start jeff uses the 21'st century man vocal "Though you ride on the wheels of tommorow , Tommorr orrr owww , You still wonder the fields of your sorrow" backwards Time After Time , On the song's bridge, Jeff sings "One! Two! Three! Four!" in the right ear then it's repeated backwards in the left ear, then forwards again and backwards again. also the words "Time after time" is sung by Sandi and reversed at 3:05 Danger Ahead , at 2:30 Jeff sings "Beware there's danger ahead" Backwards Rock n roll is king at the very start before the drum starts there is a reversed Jeff saying "Thanks for listening"
