OUT OF PHASE CURIOS

These were all created using the "OOPS" method, in which you take one channel of a stereo song, invert its waveform, and play it back against itself. Because of the way sound waves work, this "cancelling out" can reveal previously buried or mixed down parts of songs. Often it merely creates a crude karaoke version that completely strips out the bass and drums, but for the RHCP, it frequently highlights John or Josh's backing vocals, and there are some other interesting moments. Even in the case where a certain part wasn't exactly hidden, such as John's backing vocals in Savior, by OOPSing the track, you can remove other aspects of the song and hear those vocals a lot more clearly.
