en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats
doesn't matter if they are audible or not as it's the beat frequency that is relevant. and that frequency is likely to reside in the inaudible range anyway, which is where the very brain waves that they are looking to influence are. don't spend money on it though just make your own with freeware, you only need a tone generator and headphones. frequency x in left ear, frequency y in right ear leaving frequency (x-y) - the beat frequency - in 'the middle'.
*edit* minded me of this book/site: gethighnow.com/binaural-beats/

i've often wondered about how often it may happen unintentionally in music
hanging notes, pedal points, wolf tones or whatever you call 'em, creating beat frequencies, inducing emotional or psychological effect and (unconsciously?) influencing the choice of notes/chords/changes and what have you.
but not enough to research it further as yet, as it's far too much fun just making noise without thinking about it.

I think aphex twin might be a good place to start if you ever get round to it.

Yes and yes.
Edit: about 12 years ago square pusher did a radio one session where the remixed the Carebears tune. I have been wanting to hear that again for years.

your sig now disturbs me
some aphex twin and squarepusher 'choons' have had me wonder whether chris morris's 'cake' spoof was simply a double bluff to keep it truly underground and 'cool'

It only disturbs you because you are "doing it all wrong"

This I am going to listen to in a bit, if it is I could totally hug you!
as it happens breezeblock does ring a bell, I was really quite high at the time. My friend had it on a tape he recorded off the radio. I was pill tripping, man... it probably doesn't sound as good now. I'll let you know. :D
Edit: It was definitely in 2000, I got mugged and ended up in hospital a few weeks after I heard it. This mix is later, Just have to see if it contains the remix. The start is wicked, I'll check the rest in a bit.
