Not really a music track I can suggest, but I have a small story to share...
Many years ago I got interested in number stations, annonymous shortwave radio stations only transmitting an identifier and series of messages encrypted and converted to numbers, these messages are instructions to spies in foreign countries.
The Conet Project is a collection of recorded number stations released in a CD box set.
Right, I was at a LAN party, and was playing some multiplayer OpenTTD and had The Conet Project playing in the background, after several normal number station recordings, I got to a recording that only was a high/low tone on repeat for several minutes, so I zoned out...
Then, suddenly the high/low tone went away and just as I noted it, the sound exploded in random tones just blasting me through my headphones, and I felt as if my brain was being reprogrammed, I yankee off my headphones and realized it was the track playing, and that it was a polytone station, sending data via tones instead of reading numbers.
