Slowing stuff down usually doesn't sound very good though it occassionally is brilliant and Satanic sounding.

I got Gay Beast's Disrobics album without ever hearing them before, and listened to the whole thing on 45 by accident the first time. I thought it was totally awesome. It sounded like AIDS Wolf meets Ruins meets Melt Banana. Then I played it normally. It still sounded good, but that's one album that really works on 45.
I use the built in Nullsoft Signal Processing studio in Winamp to turn the speed up or down a notch on various songs. A lot of things sound a lot more commercial when you speed them up just a bit! My friend even told me some old albums, like The Doors, were intentionally sped up in the studio to sound like that. It makes kinda slow songs poppier.
I think AIDS Wolf is a lot more terrifying slowed down. And the lyrics are slightly more discernable! Not to mention you can hear what's going on with the instruments better, and there's a lot going on. The rythms are insane. I don't think Melt Banana works that well slowed down though.
Spazz sounds pretty cool slowed down. Even slowed down all the way to HALF SPEED, they're still FAST.
Charles Bronson doesn't hold up as well slow. But sped up is hilarious and awesome!
Some of Nirvana's songs are hilarious and awesome when somewhat sped up. They become an all-female punk rock band with appropriate lyrics and even more angst.
Certain Darkthrone songs are awesome sped up. Especially slower ones. In the Shadow of the Horns... Paragon Belial... The Dance Of Eternal Shadows... Neptune Towers... The Beast... are a few examples. The speed makes it pretty punky, and since it's a black metal voice, the chipmunk effect isn't *too* noticable. Any guitar solos go from slow ones to Slayer solos. I love it.
