I don't whether to curse or praise Kanye west for opening my eyes to this but no I listen to some of the slower tracks I got on 45 just to see if they come across bette, I also take any recognizable Kanye west samples I got and play the tracks at 45 to get geeked like the little sample finding boy I've been trying to repress for years.anybody else do this?heres one such track that I think sounds amazing sped up. The roger vocoder thing he's dong is http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0Z0JFBKNQEH390WGIWUMWL6MFR

    If it sounds good, it's at the right speed.

    Reverse Mode: For those with 16 RPM capabilities on your turntable, try playing the 45 of "Oh Honey" by the Delegation at 16.
    It will turn your brain into packing peanuts.
    I almost released a 16 RPM edit of this, sans vocals.

    Cosmic, commander.
