Apologies if this is old news, I'm on digest mode..
Ran into an interesting piece of info on the Warp messageboard about
track 2 (the long formula) on Aphex Twin's Windowlicker: it seems there
are several images encoded into the song that can be seen with a
spectogram. Screenshots + instructions to reproduce the images can be
seen at

I fiddled around with a spectrogram program that allowed the usage of
logarithmic scale (the pics on the above site use linear scale, I think)
and got out a bit better image which actually looks quite a lot like RDJ
himself (complete with the patented grin). The pic can be seen at

Somebody speculated a while ago that the formula looked like it could be
used in Fast Fourier Transformation, and I guess he was right.. pretty
amazing stuff. Explains a lot about that track, too - it's not meant to
be listened, it's meant to be watched :)
