Contents

The track "Pretty Little Lady" has a vocal line that was recorded backwards and then played in reverse, so that it appears to sound normal. This is an example of phonetic reversal.

There is a video of the recording of "Zenergy" and "Resolution" found on Victor Wooten and Carter Beauford "Making Music".
