     The ‘Vinyl Data‘ post got linked over at slashdot and boingboing, so useful information is coming out of the woodwork. Most significantly, a few people have pointed out Joey Headen’s site. Headen was the guy who wrote the code for the program on former Buzzcock Pete Shelley’s ‘XL-1′ album. Headen provides the backstory of the program, and a gallery of screenshots.

     In an effort to get people to read the other bits in that ‘series’ of writings, I’m posting the links:

A superb series of articles, right up my street.

I don’t know which track, or if it was released on vinyl, but Aphex Twin encoded pictures within audio. Using a frequency drawing program (like Coagula), images can be converted into sound.
The pictures can be seen within a spectrum analysis view of the audio (using an audio editor such as cool edit)
