"Yin-Yang" is the third album released by Victor Wooten.

The track "Pretty Little Lady" has a vocal line that was recorded backwards and then played in reverse, so that it appears to sound normal. This is an example of phonetic reversal.

There is video of the recording of "Zenergy" and "Resolution". It can be viewed by watching Victor Wooten and Carter Beauford's "Victor Wooten and Carter Beauford" "Making Music".
