I noticed that in 'A warm place' by Nine inch nails..if you turn the volume way up at the beginning, right before the instrumentals really get going, you hear a voice saying "the best part about life, is knowing you put it together" repeated over and over until the instrumentals start. I never knew just how serious this song was until I heard that.

I find easter eggs like this very interesting. Anyone who knows of them can you post some more secrets like these
 
I love that song more than I can explain.
 
Several Pink Floyd songs have subliminal messages in them. I know Sheep has one, which is the prayer towards the end, and I think Great Gig In The Sky has some really quiet talking in it at one point but I haven't checked. However, the song Empty Spaces from The Wall album is one of the most well known songs to have a backwards message in it.

When played backwards:

''Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message. Send your answer to Old Pink, care of The Funny Farm, Chalford, UK."
 
Which Floyd album is it that syncs up with The Wizard of Oz?

In the Modest Mouse song "I Came as a Rat," at the end, the sound gets a little spacy and you hear lyrics from another song from a different album. I think that clarifies as a easter egg...
 
Dark Side of the Moon is the album that syncs with The Wizard Of Oz. Perfectly, actually. I have it on VCR from an old record store in our town. Basically someone just overlapped it onto the original copy of WOZ. Its awesome.
 
Wait, so if you start The Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon up at the same time, the music will go along with the scenes in the movie?

Yes, me and a couple of friends did it once. It's really, really scary how perfectly it aligns. :O
 
It is very scary indeed. Its amazing. And yet, Waters denies that he was aiming for anything of the matter and says its just pure coinceidence.
 
On some versions of the album Reise Reise by Rammstein, there is a hidden "track zero" on the CD that is an excerpt from a crashed plane's flight recorder.

It's there if you "skip track" backwards from track 1.
 
In one metallica song, on load I think, james goes "off to never never land", I guess as a homage to enter sandman. :/

At the very end of The Wall part 2, very quiet, it says "isn't this where-" and then at the beginning of part one, again quietly it says "-we came in?"

There's some weird al song where if you play part backwards, it says "satan likes cheese wizz"

All kinds of albums have "secret songs" after the last track, usually several minutes after. Some examples, are the album "americana" by offspring, "strong bad sings" by that homestarrunner website, "ska core, the devil, and more" by the mighty mighty bosstones, "dookie" by green day, and tons of others.

I gotta try that pink floyd/oz thing. sounds cool. When should I start the cd, in relation to the movie?
 
I think the first frame of the actual movie (Are there credits beforehand?)
 
Ok, I just watched the wizardo of oz with Darkside of the moon, and it was severely awesome, Especially in the beginning, with the tornado. It's gets a bit tedious by the time they're at emerald city, but the last couple of minutes when she's going home are better.

SPOILER-



Money begins right when dorothy first opens the door to munchkin land and everything is in color, and the bass intro is going as the camera moves over the town and the flowers. Totally cool.
 
Beck and Mulu have done the hidden track trick - just extra tracks 'hidden' in the CD.

There's so many to name. I know one that I found (and have not seen where someone else has found it) in a NIN song named The Becoming. I was bored and listening to songs backwards and, near the end of the song, he says something backwards. When played normally, it says "I might just slip away." I'll try to find the .mp3 I made of it.

Here it is...
 
what is that he's saying? 'hear the message'?
 
In the Dream Theater song "Octavarium" there are tons... this first that comes to mind is you can hear a reference to Pink Floyd right before "Full Circle"... So this is where we came in?
 
Modest Mouse - The Good Times Are Killing Me
"Can we smoke in here?"

on The Fragile album there are a few songs where if you listen closely enough, you can hear chatter....people talking.
The Wretched is the one song thats comes to mind...Trent is on record saying that he got people off the street to say words/make sounds on certain tracks.

you guys know about the easter eggs on the "And all that could have been" DVD right?
