How freaky would it be if you had not heard about this and all of a sudden the face popped out in front of you.

decided to try this myself. downloaded a .flac version of the song and converted it to .wav with river past. next loaded that wav into spectrogram 14 and used settings similar to this website and I found the image between 327-335 seconds into the song. took a screenie and now its my desktop (annoys the hell outta the wife!)

damn neat

pld is correct; that's not the devil's face, it is Aphex Twin's face. Look at the rest of his work from that time - he put his face everywhere.

This was all the rage back a few years ago due to a software package that transformed digital images into sound waves. Of course due to the extreme differences in media and how they are percieved the sound is total sh-te, but it is still a nice little "easter egg" gift to the nerdy fan. I use sonograms/spectrographs/spectral analysis in my own composition and for analysis (cough published cough). Good stuff! (sorry for the propoganda, but a guy's gotta eat, ya know? )

It says in the article that it's actually the face of Aphex Twin aka Richard David James himself.
