my favorite part of the movie was that the audio signal sounded *exactly* like the sound you get running a feedback loop through an audio pitch shifter. the best (at the time... still?) hardware pitch shifter was the Eventide H4000. when they discovered the audio signal and amped it up to play in the room... they actually reach over and fiddle with a knob on... you guessed it... an Eventide H4000. every time i see that scene i'm like 'the sound isn't coming from space!! re-patch your harmonizer! you have it plugged in alllll wrong! you're getting feedback! not an alien signal!'
