Electronic Music As Good if Not Better Played Backwards

Is there much Electronic Music intended for listening through unconventional means; playing records backwards, slower, scrambled?

This one is interesting because from what I've heard. They recorded that song, then reversed it, then Thom Yorke listened to the vocals and sang it the way it sounded reversed over the reversed track. So technically when played in reverse it is actually played normally.

It's the melody of I Will backwards. I think I will came first.

Slowing down songs is always appealing to me, DJ Screw started that as a full-on style. Rave had up-pitched drums and vocals because of sampling limitations.

This came out this year - album on both sides but b-side is reversed. I think the recording used reversed and normal segments. BoC obviously played around a lot with reversed melodies.

The riff in Sweet Dreams was actually a reversal of a bass melody David Stewart was working on:

Similar story here, Lennon was playing "Moonnight Sonata" backwards when he came up with the main melody:

An honourable improvement.

Tends to work better on beatless ambient tracks. Adds a bit of variation to the original
