When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
something by Cabaret Voltaire maybe?

Good guess, but I couldn't find them on the page, nor could I find the song I was looking for. Their music does sound a bit similar, though.

was the sample the only words in the song?
Edited by Bootlebat
It might have been. I think there was a good bit of samples in there. I'm not sure, though.

could it be 808 State- Nimbus
? The word said is "Nimbus' but maybe you misheard it?
Sadly, no. It definitely sounded like a complete sentence. Also, I think the song was a bit slower.

Only other thing I can think of is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RflA10CwoJA
That's...quite an interesting song, but no, that's not it either. This song was probably one of those obscure underground tracks, come to think of it.

Bump.

Now Is Forever by Eiffel 65 has a few lines that are backwards. They aren't repeated though
Not that one, either, but the song I'm looking for has about the same tempo.

What kind of electronic music was it? i.e house, trance, breakbeat etc
I don't know for certain. It might have been big beat. I think it was one of those really underground-type tracks, but I know for sure it was definitely somewhere on You Tube, because there was a link to it on what I think was the Suspiciously Similar Song page.

Guys, I found it! It's on the Suspiciously Similar Song page in the "Music" section. It's called Blend the Strengths by Front 242, and it supposedly ripped off the Super Mario Bros. Underground theme. I'll post what the reverse message says later, but in the meantime, I'm hungry, and the Chicken Parmesan sitting in the microwave isn't gonna eat itself.
EDIT: Okay, so I reversed it, but it's really hard to make out. I then slowed it down, which made things easier, but the stupid reversed snares keep getting in the way. It sounds like "And if you send from (something) using it as our guide."
EDIT EDIT: I just found the sample. It comes from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. (It says "...with which we ascend from chaos using reason as our guide" in the song, but in reverse) I've never really watched any Star Trek, so I would have never known. All I did was just type in what I thought it said into Google, then picked an autofill, which brought me to a Star Trek Wiki page, which contained a quote. I then searched for the quote, which brought me to the video above.
I think there was a link to it somewhere on the Suspiciously Similar Song trope page, in one of the folders. The band name was made up of three or so random letters and/or numbers. The song was one of those weird electronic (big beat?) songs that, from time to time in the song, would play this reversed sample of a slightly high-pitched voice saying....something. The album artwork was kind of plain, with a black and gray gradient that resembled a tv test pattern and the band name in white. I wanna know what this song is again so I can hear what the mysterious voice is saying, but unreversed.
