Yes. I remember reading once that Raiders was partly Star Wars played backwards. But I guess when I play Raiders backwards, it doesn't translate back into Star Wars, but a new theme. Maybe for Indy V. Haha.

I love this one on Youtube.... not in reverse, but someone playing it on the electric violin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azuEm-UURNQ

Yup, Audacity is free! You just select the track and choose the effect to reverse.

I'm on a Mac, and used a program called Audacity. I could spit out a version and share it, but not sure if that's cool to do. Both the RAIDERS theme and Marion's theme have some really cool alternative takes when reversed.

Great forums - long time Williams fan. Years ago, I played a recording of the RAIDERS MARCH backwards -- no, not looking for any hidden messages, just experimenting. At least in my opinion, it really has some cool moments and could have made for a cool reworking of the theme for Indy IV... mixed in with our old favorite rendition. Of course, it has that backwardy sound to it, but if you have the ability to do it, try playing it backwards. I listened to the Finale track on the new Indy score and got pretty excited to hear Williams experimenting a bit, but it was far too shortlived and the end sounded out of key. Anyhow, let me know if anyone else has a listen Cheers!
