Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Laurie Anderson	From The Air "From The Air" by "Laurie Anderson"	Big Science	Warner Brothers	1982	Anderson's ingenious move, musically, was utilizing the vocoder not as a trick but as a melodic tool. It's the first thing you hear on Big Science, looped in "From the Air" like some bizarre man-machine synth. The rest of the track revolves around a circular pattern of blurted sax figures and hypnotic drums. There's virtually nothing about it that screams its age as Anderson intones a wry announcement from a (caveman) pilot of a plummeting flight. "There is no pilot," she speaks. "You are not alone. Standby. This is the time. And this is the record of the time." It's a metaphor for every frightening thing about 20th (and now 21st century) living you can think of, and in its spare way it's enough to scare you silly.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Holger Czukay	Ode To Perfume = An Das Parfüm	On the Way to the Peak of Normal	EMI / Welt / Spoon / Grönland Records	1981	On the Way to the Peak of Normal is the third album by Holger Czukay, released in 1981 through Electrola. Features the Vocoder!!!!		0:04:31 (Pop-up)
Siouxsie and The Banshees	Voices (On The Air)	Downside Up [B-Sides & Rarities Box Set]	Wonderland/Polydor	1978 / 2004	An investigation of voices... The first B-Side of Siouxsie & The Banshees (from Hong Kong Garden) Siouxsie: "With its Edgar Allen Poe styled words and spontaneously improvised music, this sets the tone for the shape of things to come for our b-sides and is what survived for our first official recording session for 'Hong Kong Garden'. All I knew before entering the studio was that I wanted to use an effect I'd heard on a Bowie b-side called 'Holy Holy'. That effect was backwards echo and ever since then I've had a great love for all things backwards." //// Severin: "I started writing the lyric for this after I'd seen the movie "The Haunted Palace", it reminded me of a book I'd just read 'Hashish, Wine & Opium' by Charles Baudelaire. I was intrigued by the idea of seeing sound & hearing colour. I later found out this is called Synesthesia. This version of the song comes from an aborted first session for 'Hong Kong Garden'. Polydor had suggested we use an American producer, Bruce Albertine. His background was in soul and country rock. He didn't know what hit him. We subsequently re-recorded 'Hong Kong' with Steve Lilywhite but kept this version as we felt it was unrepeatable."		0:09:01 (Pop-up)
Noble Rot	Empire Of Iceboxes "Empire Of Iceboxes" by "Noble Rot"	Heavenly Bodies, Repetition, Control	Joyful Noise Recordings	2023	Released March 24, 2023... Toronto's "Noble Rot, is the studio project of Alex Edkins (METZ) and Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck). Their debut LP as Noble Rot, "Heavenly Bodies, Repetition, Control" shows Edkins and Walsh joyously stepping beyond the lines drawn by their previous work. "Heavenly Bodies" takes inspiration from film soundtracks, experimental noise, kosmiche muzik, ambient, psychedelia and more." Noble Rot [Bandcamp]	*	0:14:34 (Pop-up)
Prolapse	Fob.com "Fob.com" by "Prolapse"	Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes	Jetset Records	1999	2 Vocals, 2 effects; one severe, one subtly loudspeaker-ish. "By way of slapping you about a bit and delivering quite precisely what you don't expect, Fob.com, the racingly harmonious and upbeat single, follows. Linda's oscillating vocal tone rides like some entirely mad but beautiful jet-ski over the pulsating wave of the music as Mick spouts his slightly whining Glaswegian in a manner not in the least bit similar to but easily as threatening as a Great White cruising beneath. The immaculate rhythm, pace and rhyming pattern to the track keep it hurtling along at a rate of knots and exemplify perfectly the sheer poetic genius Prolapse have been gradually honing all these years." Pointless Walks [Prolapse blog]		0:19:23 (Pop-up)
Fad Gadget	Insecticide "Insecticide" by "Fad Gadget"	Fireside Favourites	Mute	1980	Synth/Industrial/Electronic/Minimal music has always lent itself to excellent Vocal colourings. This is one of a multitude of examples. "Francis John Tovey (8 September 1956 – 3 April 2002), known also by his stage name Fad Gadget, was a British avant-garde electronic musician and vocalist. He was a proponent of both new wave and early industrial music, fusing pop-structured songs with mechanised experimentation. //// As Fad Gadget, his music was characterised by the use of synthesizers in conjunction with sounds of found objects, including drills and electric razors. His bleak, sarcastic and darkly humorous lyrics were filled with biting social commentary toward subjects such as machinery, industrialisation, consumerism, human sexuality, mass media, religion, domestic violence and dehumanization, often sung in a deadpan voice."		0:23:55 (Pop-up)
Killing Joke	Wardance "Wardance" by "Killing Joke"	Killing Joke	Editions EG	1980	Excerpt from a review on 'Post-Punk Monk' --- “This was a band that was bending the rigid metal framework of Krautrock in some new and darker directions. Those pounding, martial, yet motorik drums of Paul Ferguson were straight from the Klaus Dinger playbook. You may be aware that we melt before the urgency of Krautrock rhythms here at PPM. But Jaz Coleman’s vocals on the biting “Wardance” were run through a ring modulator, making it sound like a Dalek-led version of Neu! It took a strong vision to imagine this abrasive song as a single, yet it ultimately was."		0:27:15 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: New Age Doom, Lee "Scratch" Perry (Remixed by Ian Blurton)	Conquer The Sin (Repenter Version)	Remix the Universe (Expanded Version)	We Are Busy Bodies	2023	Released March 24, 2023. Echoed-out dubby vocal effects here, in true Perry fashion. Ian Blurton is a fixture of the Toronto scene (Neon Rome, Cowboy Junkies, Change Of Heart, Blurtonia, C'Mon, et. al), and remixes one of the tracks from Lee "Scratch" Perry's last album, itself a collaboration w/ Vancouver's New Age Doom... From the desks of We Are Busy Bodies: "We Are Busy Bodies presents Remix The Universe, a compilation of new perspectives on The Upsetter’s final collaborative album, 2021’s acclaimed Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Guide to the Universe by New Age Doom. /// Remix The Universe features new versions by artists from the post-hardcore, experimental hip hop, indie rock, EDM and ambient spheres. From the dancefloor-ready groove of South Africa’s BLK JKS, to the head-banging fuzz-dub of Quicksand, and Nick Reinhart’s experimental exploration" -- This track is from the new expanded version.

Apparat Organ Quartet	Stereo Rock & Roll	Apparat Organ Quartet	12 Tónar	2002	Apparat Organ Quartet was founded in 1999 in Reykjavík, Iceland. n 2002, Apparat Organ Quartet released their self-titled debut album on the Thule Records label in Iceland; in 2005, the album was re-released on the Icelandic 12 Tónar label in a new remastered version. The second album of the band, Pólýfónía, was released on 9 December 2010 on 12 Tónar in Iceland, and in 2011 by the Danish label Crunchy Frog in Scandinavia. The band's sound has evolved from the atmospheric and minimalistic post-rock documented on the Kitchen Motors compilations "Nart Nibbles" and "Motorlab 2" to a more robust, riff-driven sound, with a mixture of Kraftwerk-inspired electronics, Daft Punk-like robot voices, and hard rock beats. They have been compared to such different acts as Kraftwerk, Wagner, Goblin, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Sigur Rós, the Glitter Band, Stereolab and Trans Am.		0:42:15 (Pop-up)
Kings Have Long Arms	Re-Enter The Two Tone Deaf	Re-Enter The Two Tone Deaf 7"	Uncharted Records	2002	Kings Have Long Arms are an English "rocktronica" act, formed in Sheffield and masterminded by Salford-born Adrian Flanagan. Kings Have Long Arms have collaborated with Philip Oakey from the Human League on the track "Rock and Roll Is Dead", Marion from the Lovers and Mira from Ladytron. Flanagan has since gone on to many excellent and wonderful projects including The Eccentronic Research Council and Moonlandingz. His current project is Acid Klaus, and highly recommended!		0:46:20 (Pop-up)
Bruce Haack	Rita "Rita" by "Bruce Haack"	Farad: The Electric Voice (comp)	Stones Throw Records	2010	There was certainly nobody like Haack, a pioneering creator of electronic musical gizmos and author of some of the weirdest kids’ music the world has ever heard. In 1969, the man built a vocoder, named it “Farad”, and started singing songs through it. Haack’s name has long been a talisman for electronic music freaks like Add N to (X) and Beck, and sometimes you can hear the influence. Haack’s only major label album, 1970’s Electric Lucifer, blends electro chirps with Farfisa psych and hippy-dippy lyrics, a mix that seemed prescient in the late ’90s when everybody got tired of angry guitar rock. it’s obvious why Haack is important in the annals of electronic music. Famous musicians dig him, he beat Kraftwerk to the musical vocoder punch, and he released two albums called Electric Lucifer. These are noble achievements, indeed.		0:51:09 (Pop-up)
Trans Am	Television Eyes "Television Eyes" by "Trans Am"	Futureworld	Thrill Jockey	1999	It is the end of the century. We are all afraid. And then Trans Am releases an uncompromising, challenging album of ripping motorik grooves and synthetic vocals. It was the perfect album for the time, capturing angst, and embracing an uncertain future where machines and AI rule us all. They weren't wrong. Somewhere in a fantasy world, on green pastures of silicon motherboard, in clubs shaped liked RAM chips and transistors, Trans Am is the only rock band with soul, precision, licks, swagger, ambience, and good looks to boot.		0:55:03 (Pop-up)
Add N to (X)	You Must Create "You Must Create" by "Add N to (X)"	Add Insult To Injury	Mute	2000	U.K. synthesizer abusers Add N to (X) have spent years terrorizing their instruments to earn the reputation as one of the harder, creepier and freakier electronic outfits on this or any other planet. While You Must Create may emphasize texture over structure, it is a relentless groove with waves of sound built to get lost in as you nod in and out of conscious reality. Add N To (X) might be a band that is impossible to pigeonhole..but for that reason there is just so much about them to love...		0:59:45 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Egyptian Lover	Got To Get It "Got To Get It" by "The Egyptian Lover"	1984	Egyptian Empire	2015	We need to talk about the influence of the vocoder and talkbox on early electronic music, specifically Detroit Electro and techno, as well as its influence in hip hop and funk. Artists like Egyptian Lover, Dazz Band, Cybotron, Whodini, and more incoporated this sound into the musical lexicon and made it completely theirs.		1:03:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Stevie Wonder	Race Babbling "Race Babbling" by "Stevie Wonder"	Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants	Motown	1979	Secret Life of Plants was a massive departure for Stevie Wonder and a hugely ambitious creative risk. It is the soundtrack to the documentary The Secret Life of Plants, directed by Walon Green, which was based on the book of the same name by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. It has been called "goofy", "nerdy", "odd", "pointless" and "foolish", and for listeners and critics it was seen as too much of a departure from his string of melodic albums. However, some critics have also described it as "courageous", "achingly sweet", and "bafflingly beautiful". Berry Gordy lamented "the one million copies we pressed turned out to be 900,000 too many"		1:07:46 (Pop-up)
Coil	Disco Hospital "Disco Hospital" by "Coil"	Love's Secret Domain (30th Anniversary 2021 Remaster) [Bonati]	Wax Trax! Records	1991 / 2021	Samplers & Vocals = the modern day cut-up. "The recording sessions for Love's Secret Domain were characterized by Coil's compulsive drug use at the time, along with sleep deprivation which apparently led to conflict between members; Peter Christopherson remarked that '[he could] remember Balance and Steve having these mad arguments that would go on for 48 hours without sleep over which sequence of words should be used'. In a period of constant drug use during the sessions, they both struggled with using the studio mixing room due to constant hallucinations of '10 foot tall Amazonian warriors and Babylonian kings' who were 'crowding' the room. Stephen Thrower admitted he had experienced synchronized hallucinations with Balance during this period. The album's emphasis on sampling was inspired by the acid house scene, although it is less explicitly indebted to the dance style than the contemporaneous work of Psychic TV."		1:15:56 (Pop-up)
The Fall	4 1/2 Inch "4 1/2 Inch" by "The Fall"	Levitate	Artful	1997	Chopped up, multi-effected, mulit-panned, multi-layered vocals, all competing against each other & running amok through this track, a chaos and multiplicity of Mark E. Smith(s) - I love it! One of my favs. From the "Annotated Fall" website: "According to Simon Ford's Hip Priest, the song got its name "because it half-reminded Smith of industrial rockers, Nine-Inch Nails" (252). An earlier version is simply called "Inch," however. This is a tough one as far as the lyrics go, because the vocals are layered (it is my understanding that the version from the Lyrics Parade--which I reproduce above--is a transcription by fans rather than something that the band published). As far as interpretation goes, it's even tougher, and probably isn't meant to be explained. Rather, these lyrics are a good example of MES letting the language take over, which is often the goal of Fall lyrics, but this one just jumps right into the deep end and never looks back. The effect at times achieves what passes for poetry in the Fall universe--a pile of verbal imagery that somehow achieves sublimity without being mediated through the discipline of poetry. It's not altogether uncommon for rock lyricists to write like that (in a very general way, of course nobody else could be mistaken for MES) but I think it is not very common for this method to result in such exalted creations as we get in the very best Fall lyrics (I wouldn't put this song in that category, since you asked, but these are formal considerations and I am speaking in generalities). It's hard to imagine a phrase as ridiculous as "ecstatic midges" fitting so comfortably into the canon of a truly great lyricist other than MES, but here we have it, and that's where it fits."		1:18:08 (Pop-up)
Primal Scream	Stuka "Stuka" by "Primal Scream"	Vanishing Point	Reprise Records	1997	Lovely vocal fx here. This album is the one that made me realise that Primal Scream had something more "teethy" to offer & was when I first started following them keenly. "Vanishing Point is the fifth studio album by Scottish rock band Primal Scream. It was released on 7 July 1997 in the United Kingdom by Creation Records and in the United States by Reprise Records. It peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. The album shows inspiration from genres such as dub, ambient, dance music, and krautrock, as well as bands such as Motörhead, Can, and the Stooges. It was the band's first album to feature Gary 'Mani' Mounfield on bass, formerly of the Stone Roses, although Marco Nelson played bass on "Burning Wheel", "Star", "If They Move, Kill 'Em'", and "Stuka". Other guest appearances on Vanishing Point include Augustus Pablo, Glen Matlock, and the Memphis Horns. //// Gillespie has described the album as an anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road-movie record. It is named after and inspired by the 1971 film Vanishing Point, especially the song "Kowalski", which is meant to be an alternative soundtrack of the movie. Lead singer Bobby Gillespie said, "The music in the film is hippy music, so we thought, 'Why not record some music that really reflects the mood of the film?' It's always been a favourite of the band, we love the air of paranoia and speed- freak righteousness. It's impossible to get hold of now, which is great! It's a pure underground film, rammed with claustrophobia.""		1:22:07 (Pop-up)
David Byrne & Brian Eno	Mea Culpa	My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts [Expanded]	Sire / Nonesuch	1981 / 2005	Features: " – inflamed caller and smooth politician replying, both unidentified; radio call-in show, New York, July 1979." //// David Byrne says [excerpt from a 2005 essay on the making of the album]... "Brian had previously begun work on some recordings that incorporated found voices, and he brought these to the table - one of these pieces became Mea Culpa- it already had layers of vocal loops. There were some instrumental tracking recordings made in NY at this point which I was part of- and these were really Brian’s instigations. It was maybe around about this point that the imaginary culture idea resurfaced. We knocked around the idea of isolating ourselves in the California desert and emerging after a while with a finished record, which we would say wasn’t ours. We did go out to California, but only to LA, which is where the project began in earnest- I believe it was there that we both realized that the “found vocal” idea would be the thread that would pull the record together. We also abandoned the imaginary cultural artifact idea too- at least explicitly, though I suspect this fantasy continued to guide us in a subconscious way. I suspect the found vocal idea also appealed to us as it eliminated any conflict or competition between us as singers..."		1:27:49 (Pop-up)

Cylob	Rewind - Vocal "Rewind - Vocal" by "Cylob"	Cymply The Best 93-01	Cylob Industries	2014	Chris Jeffs (born in 1976), best known by the stage name Cylob, is a British electronic musician and producer closely associated with Aphex Twin. He has produced seven albums, three compilations and a number of remixes.[ His career evolved after he gave a demo tape to Aphex Twin at a gig in early 1993, who subsequently signed Jeffs to his Rephlex label a short time after. Since his debut, he has released 13 singles and 5 albums on Rephlex, in addition to the EP Spider Report for Breakin' Records. Unfortunately he no longer produces music due to issues with tinnitus.		1:39:38 (Pop-up)
Giorgio Moroder	First Hand Experience In Second Hand Love	From Here To Eternity	Island	1977	One of THE most important disco records ever released...and by the architect of the sound of the future. First Hand Experience is like seeing God on the dancefloor...sleazy, playful, charming, angelic, transcendent, and very, very sexy. Moroder is an interesting case because he sidesteps most "disco sucks" arguments due to the fact that he did write his own stuff, did produce it, and even went to so far as to design much of his studio. Like Kraftwerk, he had long been interested in the possibilities of electronic music in pop, and with partner Pete Bellotte, used his background in pop songwriting and arranging to forge one of the most successful production partnerships of the 70s. At their Musicland studios in Munich, Germany, the pair made their greatest claim to fame making records for Donna Summer, though Moroder also worked with Sparks, Blondie, and Japan, among dozens of others. ALL HAIL MORODER!		1:42:49 (Pop-up)
Pan Pan, Melantini	Χτύπα με σαν ρεύμα στην πίστα	Χτύπα με σαν ρεύμα στην πίστα / Σεμπάστιαν 7"	Floriko Party	2021	"Hit Me Like Electricity On The Dancefloor" Pan Pan was born and lives in Athens, GR. He makes music with synths and samplers and stomp pedals and tape recorders that he has collected throughout the years. "The Ghost Boy leaves behind the endless dawn and goes from the morning stupor, to the routine of the day, to the evening revelry."		1:47:40 (Pop-up)
I Monster	Heaven "Heaven" by "I Monster"	Neveroddoreven	Dharma Records	2004	Monster was born in 1998. The gentlemen responsible are Dean Honer (Add N to X) and Jarrod Gosling. They specialise in a sort of left field psychedelic, new wave, electronic pop, sort of. They are from Sheffield. Jarrod has many, many organs and is also in Cobalt Chapel. I Monster are fantastic and I urge everyone to check out their impressive catalogue. This song beautifully demonstrates how otherworldly and gorgeous a vocoder can be when used to great effect in creating a romantic vibe.		1:51:36 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Boards Of Canada	In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country	In a Beautiful Place Out in The Country-EP	Warp Records	2000	Boards of Canada are not from Canada. The are are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, formed initially as a group in 1986 before becoming a duo in the 1990s. Both brothers attended the University of Edinburgh, where Michael studied music and Marcus studied artificial intelligence, though Marcus dropped out before completing his degree. They are best described as ""a hazy sound of smeared synth-tones and analog-decayed production, carried by patient, sleepwalking beats, and aching with nostalgia" while crediting them with "reinvent[ing]" elements of psychedelia through the deliberate misuse of technology"....		1:55:27 (Pop-up)
Pete Drake	Forever "Forever" by "Pete Drake"	Pete Drake and His Talking Steel Guitar 7"	Philips	1963	Pete Drake was not the first, but definitely one of the first...and while this is not by definition, a vocoder...it still counts! His innovative use of what would be called the talk box, later used by Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Roger Troutman and Jeff Beck, added novel effects to the pedal steel guitar. The album Pete Drake and His Talking Steel Guitar harkened back to the sounds of Alvino Rey and his wife Luise King, who first modulated a guitar tone with the signal from a throat microphone in 1939. In his words: "You play the notes on the guitar and it goes through the amplifier. I have a driver system so that you disconnect the speakers and the sound goes through the driver into a plastic tube. You put the tube in the side of your mouth then form the words with your mouth as you play them. You don't actually say a word: The guitar is your vocal cords, and your mouth is the amplifier. It's amplified by a microphone."		2:00:49 (Pop-up)

	8:16pm DJ Babs: That’s my fella LOL
	8:17pm SuperJen: Hi all!
	8:17pm ultradamno: Seems like Vocokesh would lean on the vocoder a lot, but they usually just put 'electronics' and 'noises' on the records so I don't know...
	8:17pm DJ Babs: Well we hope to have a few unexpected surprises, vocoder and not!
	8:18pm DJ Babs: I enjoyed that bonus howl Derek lol

	8:22pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:20 Me too…very much.
	8:22pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:19 Closely related to F/i (with Franecki concentrating on gtr more than electronics on one more than the other, I think is the distinction)
	8:23pm SuperJen: Loving the selections so far!
	8:23pm DJ Babs: Ahh Prolapse really just did not get the love they deserved!
	8:25pm DJ Babs: Thank you Jen! Looking forward to my guest spot on More Noise Please! Which is a great show people should check out!

	8:26pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:23 Unfortunately whenever I hear the name Prolapse, my brain wrongly and sadly to Prozzak. “Sucks to be me”
	8:27pm SuperJen: Oohh this is one of my favourite Fad Gadget tunes
	8:27pm DJ Babs: Haha! My brain goes automatically to something even less pleasant having to do with an uncomfortable bottom LOL
	8:28pm DJ Babs: ↳ SuperJen @8:27 I wonder if tovey had not passed if he would have returned to making this type of excellent music
	8:28pm SuperJen: And really the entire Fireside Favourites album
	8:28pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:27 Wild! It's a weirdly catchy one, for all the harshness of it, it's also an earworm...
	8:29pm DJ Babs: He was very good at that…finding the hook in the disquieting….
	8:29pm SuperJen: It's soooo good.
	8:29pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Insecticide" by "Fad Gadget" I love Tovey's album with the most difficult first wave industrial dude Boyd Rice "Easy Listening For The Hard Of Hearing"
	8:31pm DJ Babs: He sure was a force to be reckoned with. I’d have loved to see those early live gigs
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:28 One of the things I read had mentioned that Tovey hadn't had too much studio experience at that early stage, so he let most of the decisions up to Daniel Miller. Which would make me happy, anyway. Don't know how much truth there is to it, but it certainly makes sense.
	8:31pm DJ Babs: Very Dalek inspired vocals here lol
	8:32pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:31 Cuing doctor who:)
	8:32pm DJ Babs: MeepMoop is snoozing gently through all the racket lol
	8:33pm ultradamno: Seems like a lot of Chrome would fit in with this set
	8:33pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:32 Daleks used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid lol
	8:34pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:32 Is MeepMoop your cat? The old doctor who had some really cheesy monsters and special effects
	8:34pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:33 Don't go to NYC www.msn.com...
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:34 Yes MeepMoop is our little siamese cat! He's the Moopervisor!
	8:35pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:34 Yikes
	8:35pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 Aww nice feline overlord
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:34 They look much less threatening than those creepy robot dogs!
	8:36pm SuperJen: Babs totally off topic but did you see Gilla Band is coming back finally?
	8:36pm DJ Babs: YES WE ARE GOING
	8:36pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 The robot dogs were just about one beat short of the ones from Black Mirror!
	8:37pm DJ Babs: Tickets on sale tomorrow!!!! EEEE I have been waiting ages to see them!
	8:37pm SuperJen: YES! Tickets on sale in the morning I think.
	8:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:36 Seriously they are disturbing as fuck...
	8:38pm SuperJen: Same here! Been a fan so long! Very excited.
	8:38pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:37 Welcome to a brave new world i am sorry to say Hey superjen
	8:39pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ SuperJen @8:36 Hell ya!!! I’m so there!!!
	8:43pm ultradamno: Mike issues again?
	🏝 8:43pm Scott_Oz: Dead mic!!
	🏝 8:44pm Scott_Oz: Babs is back!!
	8:45pm SuperJen: Hi Your pretend bf! Nice! See ya there if not before then!
	8:45pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks Ultra/Scott... Our mic-checkers. Really should stop forgetting about that.
	8:45pm SuperJen: Also heya Rob
	8:46pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ SuperJen @8:45 I’m so nervous it will sell out in like two seconds. Bites nails.
	8:46pm SuperJen: If that hqppens I will cry
	8:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:33 I was thinking Chrome all week, but never fit it in for some reason.
	8:46pm Robm: Now this really sounds like a dalek
	8:46pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ SuperJen @8:46 Me too!!!
	8:47pm DJ Babs: Goddamn it we really need to do better than tape for making this mic work LOL
	8:47pm DJ Babs: ↳ SuperJen @8:46 The Gilla Band show is slated to be at the Drake too...which I find...odd...
	8:47pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 Bring back the Britney mic. 😂
	8:47pm SuperJen: This tune is awesome
	8:48pm ultradamno: Back to mono, robot!
	8:48pm Robm: I am half expecting this voice to start yelling exterminate
	8:48pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 Maybe it’s G!lla Band not Gilla Band. Lol
	8:49pm SuperJen: I thought so too! The Drake?? Haven't been to a show there in years. Probably the last one was the Evaporators?
	8:50pm DJ Babs: I love rock and roll stompy tunes with vocoder voices...it's a thing!
	8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:49 "Doot doola doot doo"
	8:51pm SuperJen: Haha
	8:54pm DJ Babs: Bruce Haack...the grandpa of the Vocoder...and was Canadian!!
	8:55pm SuperJen: Love Bruce Haack!
	8:56pm Feldy: Hello Transmitters!
	8:56pm DJ Babs: Hi Feldy! Welcome welcome!!
	8:57pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Feldy!
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:34 Ah robot police. How charming.
	8:58pm DJ Blush: Great tunes so far
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Has anyone had any encounters w. robots lately?
	8:59pm DJ Babs: Glad you are enjoying them! Got some crazy stuff coming ahead!
	8:59pm DJ Babs: This album LEGIT changed my life!
	9:00pm DJ Babs: These are Dalek vocals for SURE
	9:00pm laurapanic: Damn got the time wrong, here I am
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: Before the pandemic, we went to a robot-sushi restaurant in the suburbs w/ my nephews & family. There were humans, too, but robots definitely enjoyed bringing things by to our table.
	9:01pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Laura! Anytime is the right time here on the Beach!
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:00 All time is acceptable!
	9:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Television Eyes" by "Trans Am" so good! I saw them have a fight amongst themselves in a tiny room in my regional town in Australia 20 odd years ago. They were also very good.
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: Hi Laura, great to see you!
	9:01pm DJ Babs: I definitely enjoyed the robot sushi.
	9:02pm laurapanic: I have many trans am albums. And their recent stuff is still great. So good.
	9:02pm DJ Blush: Just had a sushi feast... when the cat's away, the mouse... will eat sushi
	9:02pm DJ Babs: If I remember correctly the resto also had a lifesize statue of a woman that looked disturbingly like a real doll sex doll in a kimono and her fingers were bent all the wrong way this and that it was VERY uncanny valley....
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:02 Did not notice/recall that.
	9:02pm Tyler: Good Evening!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Tyler! Welcome welcome!
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Blush @9:02 Sushi served by robots?
	9:03pm Tyler: Just in time for Add N To (X)!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:02 I took pictures I will show you derek, lol
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:02 'Eve Tyler! Enjoying April summer?
	9:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Television Eyes" by "Trans Am" They and Pan•American should merge and become Prawns•American (throwing in the w to follow up on sushi)
	9:03pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:03 Hi Babs! Thanks!
	9:04pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 Hi Derek! Yes, quite hot!
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 Lol!
	9:04pm ultradamno: Is sushi served by robots what's happening at Kanye West's school? www.msn.com...
	9:05pm DJ Babs: It’s not often us Canadians can complain about the heat in April LOL
	9:05pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:04 Honestly that whole scene is a serious hot mess
	9:06pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 There was a recent X-Files in which Mulder & Scully go to a Sushi restaurant all run by robots.
	9:06pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:04 Hmm... There's some problematic things there, if I were being judgy.
	9:07pm ultradamno: If you leave it up to the students, they will not get their daily recommended allowance of mercury
	9:07pm DJ Blush: Hey Tyler!
	9:08pm Derek Westerholm: Robot sushi: www.google.ca...
	9:08pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:07 The latest Amazon is making sure everyone is getting their daily overdose of Mercury :)
	9:08pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Blush @9:07 Hello Britt!
	9:09pm Derek Westerholm: Ah yes, it was called Robo Sushi
	9:09pm Tyler: ↳ Tyler @9:08 The latest Amazon ad campaign*
	9:09pm Tyler: The Vocoder was invented by the Cylons :)
	9:12pm DJ Blush: So sick
	9:13pm Tyler: Wendy Carlos would have also been one of the earlier popular uses of the vocoder.
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:13 I love how fact-y the beach can be... You are all wonderful!
	9:16pm ultradamno: You should look into the MX-80 Sound song Facts-Facts to use as a theme song
	9:20pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:13 Yes absolutely!!! I forgot to mention her!
	9:20pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:16 Ha! We got facts here! Many facts! Most of them factual!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: And Fall! This is so freakin fun.
	9:22pm Tyler: I was watching a video online recently demonstrating the difference between vocoder, talkbox & text-to-speech which was quite interesting.
	9:22pm SuperJen: Always love the Fall
	9:23pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 Mark E. Smith is the ghost in the machine :)
	9:23pm laurapanic: Thank goodness. Derek playing me Fall again. I get sad when he doesn't
	9:24pm SuperJen: I had a friend say to me once that they hate vocoder and I was like WHAT but he meant auto tune like how it is often used since that Cher song
	9:24pm DJ Babs: Yes! Talk boxes very different! There is an awesome vid of argh…his name escapes me…but a steel pedal big band guy…not Pete Drake…playing St. Louis Blues with a big bend and there’s a creepy puppet called “stringy the talking guitar” onstage Mimi g to the talk box vocals. It really is something else…
	9:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ SuperJen @9:24 Yeah that’s a WHOLE different thing entirely!!!
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:23 Yes, I was sad I made you sad. Mental note: always play The Fall.
	9:26pm ultradamno: Autotune would be fine if they were only used on animal noises instead of rappers trying to do slow jams
	9:26pm DJ Babs: In my electro band days we put out a track and decided to fuck around with the auto tune cranked for the vocal effect and I had to sing a COMPLETELY different melody to get the melody we wanted lol. It actually worked very well!
	9:26pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:26 FALL For ALL Occasions!
	9:27pm DJ Babs: T Pain ruined it for us all lol
	9:27pm SuperJen: Agreed! And talk box I usually think of Peter Frampton or Bon Jovi but there must be some good examples haha
	9:27pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:27 Also Dr. Dre & Motley Crue :)
	9:28pm ultradamno: Frampton made those an immediate novelty because that live album got so big so quick
	9:28pm DJ Babs: For sure. Roger Troutman to me will always be king of the talk box
	9:28pm SuperJen: I'd like to hear that Babs! What was your electro band and are tracks online?
	9:28pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 Seriously who likes Peter Frampton?
	9:29pm DJ Blush: PROCON!
	9:29pm ultradamno: I just don't think any guitarist should have a tube in his mouth onstage.
	9:29pm DJ Blush: Pulled the vinyl out the other day
	9:29pm DJ Babs: Haha! Yes it was ProCon and that track in particular was called Meth Whore
	9:29pm SuperJen: Thanks!
	9:30pm DJ Babs: ↳ DJ Blush @9:29 Aww buddy you are more brave than I LOL ❤️
	9:30pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:28 I remember an X interview where Billy Zoom said Frampton was the only person who could have an album called Comes Alive and lack credibility
	9:30pm Tyler: Ahhh... nice ENO & Byrne!
	9:31pm DJ Babs: Hahaha!
	9:32pm SuperJen: This is a great collab
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Mea Culpa" by "David Byrne & Brian Eno" I can't think of another album that had a greater impact on my as a youngster
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @9:32 I absolutely love this period of all the TH albums + side projects... Even the Jerry Harrison "The Red & The Black" one, which is overlooked and definitely has strong moments.
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: me
	9:34pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:33 Rich, hi! And that's lovely to know. It's a really special album.
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: Hi Babs N' Derek! Listening in my new digs while cooking up some din din.
	9:35pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 I mixed this song with Godspeed You Black Emperor and it worked really well.
	9:36pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 I wish they had kept Jerry away from the mic on some of the Tom Tom Club songs, though :)
	9:36pm ultradamno: cuttin' in and out
	9:37pm Tyler: We need to crowd-fund a new mic cable for you Derek & Babs - you're breaking up again :)
	9:37pm SuperJen: Sounds like a great mix, Tyler. Is this Tyler z? Or a different Tyler?
	9:38pm Tyler: ↳ SuperJen @9:37 Yes, it's me with the 'Z'. This is More Noise Jen?
	9:39pm SuperJen: It is! I didn't know you DJ. I'd love to hear. Msg me a link if ya got one!
	9:39pm Tyler: ↳ SuperJen @9:39 I don't really DJ - just make a lot of mixes :)
	9:39pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Tyler @9:38 Have you ever signed a Z with a sword before whilst wearing a black mask?
	9:40pm SuperJen: Well i would love to hear that also
	9:40pm Tyler: @Derek - Mark E. Smith got his ears flushed & realized he didn't need to use the bullhorn on every song :)
	9:41pm Tyler: ↳ SuperJen @9:40 Thanks - I'll give you an SD card sometime.
	9:42pm Tyler: Cold Spring Records has been putting out quite a renaissance of Coil reissues recently.
	9:43pm ultradamno: I'd think after the pro ear flushing would be the ideal time to make a record. Before, on the other hand...
	9:43pm Tyler: So, this is 'Text-To-Speech' on this track
	9:45pm Tyler: My old Amiga computer had 'Text-To-Speech' which I abused from time to time back in the 90's :)
	9:46pm DJ Babs: Yes! Also used to great effect by Radiohead. There was also a voice box made by Realistic called the "Vocalist" that did artificial harmonies for solo singers...and it had a setting that made a similar effect. I wish I still had mine!
	9:46pm SuperJen: Yesss I love this Moroder album
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:36 Tyler, I think it was likely Chris Frantz re: the Tom Tom Club, no? Or am I mistaken?
	9:46pm Tyler: Moroder - nice! I have this record. He doesn't get enough credit for his influence on New Wave.
	9:47pm ultradamno: Tom Tom Club vs Byrne www.stereogum.com...
	9:47pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 Underworld also used 'Text-To-Speech' to good effect.
	9:47pm DJ Babs: Agreed. His production is just so, so good on this record. He also doesn't get credit for his influence on House music...which this album very much informs!
	9:47pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:46 Right you are - Chris - not Jerry. My mistake! :)
	9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:47 Personallly I know this might be sacrilege but I'm on team Tina Weymouth...he treated her like garbage....
	9:48pm ultradamno: Jerry is my favorite of the lot, 'cause Modern Lovers.
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:47 I hear New Order cribbing a lot of ideas from this album, as well. Moroder obviously also collaborated with Japan and others.
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:48 Agree. That organ solo on 'Roadrunner' :)
	9:50pm SuperJen: His appreciated basslines are still copied to this ray but most probably don't know where it really came from
	9:50pm SuperJen: Day not ray
	9:51pm SuperJen: Also autocorrected arpegiated haha
	9:52pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 Tina's contributions on the Talking Heads demos from 1975 are my favourite part of those recordings. DB is quite socially awkward & didn't handle the TH break-up very well at all, but I think the band had pretty much run its course by that time. There were 10 or 15 of them by that time.
	9:52pm DJ Babs: I love this wonky ass synth tune
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 I'm sure it's hard to know what's at the heart of interpersonal band & relational dynamics.
	9:54pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 Have you ever seen the Documentary Now! episode based on them? It plays that up... www.imdb.com...
	9:54pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:53 Kind of reminds me of the Galaxie 500 break-up - couple dynamic versus single dynamic. Very difficult in a band.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: I am sure that Byrne being somewhat on the spectrum has much to do with it as well...as will happen. And yes that Documentary Now episode is GOLD
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:54 Yes, hilarious!
	9:55pm DJ Babs: This tune...<french kiss> it is PERFECTION
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:52 That demo is great! And agreed!
	9:56pm Tyler: I wish The Tom Tom Club would put out more albums. Jerry Harrison is currently touring with Adrian Belew and doing TH material.
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:56 I did not know that about JH + AB
	9:57pm DJ Babs: There's a Jerry Harrison appreciation fan group on Facebook that is utterly hilarious and amazing.
	9:57pm ultradamno: They should do one off Another State Of Mind...there's a lot to work with in that. There was a really good Agnes Varda one in the last season.
	9:57pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:56 I thought Tom Tom Club were doing things, even currently...?
	9:57pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:57 Didn't know this. Will have to look it up!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 Hmm... Maybe not.
	9:58pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 Are they? Hasn't come across my radar - will have to investigate.
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:58 No, I was likely wrong. :)
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: Oh, there we go... A Tom Tom Club collab from 2022. I knew I'd come across something... relix.com...
	10:00pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:58 To me that's the missed opportunity. I doubt TH will ever have a fruitful reunion, but The Tom Tom Club still had/has a lot of room to grow.
	10:00pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @10:00 Thanks, Derek!
	🏝 10:00pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek! Persevering despite inferior gaffer tape, to bring us your joys! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻🌻❤️
	10:02pm ultradamno: Seems like, with that name, Giorgio Moroder would have wound up with a perfume line without even trying
	10:02pm Tyler: THANK YOU Derek, Babs & Major MeepMoop for another stimulating & thought-provoking installment!
	10:03pm DJ Blush: THANKS GUYS!!
	10:03pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @10:02 Vocoder - the new fragrance by Giorgio Moroder...
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a great show tonight! See ya on the radio next week!
	10:04pm SuperJen: Thanks for the great show!
	10:04pm ultradamno: (whispering) can you smell the voice of the robots? VOCODER
	10:04pm Tyler: G'night Britt, Jen, Ultra and all the other Beachers in the chat! Nice spending time with you.
	10:05pm Derek Westerholm: Thank-you all!!!!! It would be lonely without you.
	10:05pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 A hint of WD-40 in the air :)
	10:05pm DJ Babs: Awesome! Thank you all so much and heya Rich! great to see yas! We'll be back with more vocoder stuff soon I am sure!!! Thanks for indulging this robot lovin' gal!!
	10:06pm Tyler: This song reminds me that George Harrison uses 'Talkbox' on the 'Wonderwall' soundtrack to some ENO-esque effect...
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: I recommend the book How To Wreck A Nice Beach about vocoders
	10:07pm ultradamno: Speaking of bots, I'm off to watch Battlebots
	10:08pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:06 Thanks Rich, will have to investigate! Apt name, haha!

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Laurie Anderson	From The Air "From The Air" by "Laurie Anderson"	Big Science	Warner Brothers	1982	Anderson's ingenious move, musically, was utilizing the vocoder not as a trick but as a melodic tool. It's the first thing you hear on Big Science, looped in "From the Air" like some bizarre man-machine synth. The rest of the track revolves around a circular pattern of blurted sax figures and hypnotic drums. There's virtually nothing about it that screams its age as Anderson intones a wry announcement from a (caveman) pilot of a plummeting flight. "There is no pilot," she speaks. "You are not alone. Standby. This is the time. And this is the record of the time." It's a metaphor for every frightening thing about 20th (and now 21st century) living you can think of, and in its spare way it's enough to scare you silly.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Holger Czukay	Ode To Perfume = An Das Parfüm	On the Way to the Peak of Normal	EMI / Welt / Spoon / Grönland Records	1981	On the Way to the Peak of Normal is the third album by Holger Czukay, released in 1981 through Electrola. Features the Vocoder!!!!		0:04:31 (Pop-up)
Siouxsie and The Banshees	Voices (On The Air)	Downside Up [B-Sides & Rarities Box Set]	Wonderland/Polydor	1978 / 2004	An investigation of voices... The first B-Side of Siouxsie & The Banshees (from Hong Kong Garden) Siouxsie: "With its Edgar Allen Poe styled words and spontaneously improvised music, this sets the tone for the shape of things to come for our b-sides and is what survived for our first official recording session for 'Hong Kong Garden'. All I knew before entering the studio was that I wanted to use an effect I'd heard on a Bowie b-side called 'Holy Holy'. That effect was backwards echo and ever since then I've had a great love for all things backwards." //// Severin: "I started writing the lyric for this after I'd seen the movie "The Haunted Palace", it reminded me of a book I'd just read 'Hashish, Wine & Opium' by Charles Baudelaire. I was intrigued by the idea of seeing sound & hearing colour. I later found out this is called Synesthesia. This version of the song comes from an aborted first session for 'Hong Kong Garden'. Polydor had suggested we use an American producer, Bruce Albertine. His background was in soul and country rock. He didn't know what hit him. We subsequently re-recorded 'Hong Kong' with Steve Lilywhite but kept this version as we felt it was unrepeatable."		0:09:01 (Pop-up)
Noble Rot	Empire Of Iceboxes "Empire Of Iceboxes" by "Noble Rot"	Heavenly Bodies, Repetition, Control	Joyful Noise Recordings	2023	Released March 24, 2023... Toronto's "Noble Rot, is the studio project of Alex Edkins (METZ) and Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck). Their debut LP as Noble Rot, "Heavenly Bodies, Repetition, Control" shows Edkins and Walsh joyously stepping beyond the lines drawn by their previous work. "Heavenly Bodies" takes inspiration from film soundtracks, experimental noise, kosmiche muzik, ambient, psychedelia and more." Noble Rot [Bandcamp]	*	0:14:34 (Pop-up)
Prolapse	Fob.com "Fob.com" by "Prolapse"	Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes	Jetset Records	1999	2 Vocals, 2 effects; one severe, one subtly loudspeaker-ish. "By way of slapping you about a bit and delivering quite precisely what you don't expect, Fob.com, the racingly harmonious and upbeat single, follows. Linda's oscillating vocal tone rides like some entirely mad but beautiful jet-ski over the pulsating wave of the music as Mick spouts his slightly whining Glaswegian in a manner not in the least bit similar to but easily as threatening as a Great White cruising beneath. The immaculate rhythm, pace and rhyming pattern to the track keep it hurtling along at a rate of knots and exemplify perfectly the sheer poetic genius Prolapse have been gradually honing all these years." Pointless Walks [Prolapse blog]		0:19:23 (Pop-up)
Fad Gadget	Insecticide "Insecticide" by "Fad Gadget"	Fireside Favourites	Mute	1980	Synth/Industrial/Electronic/Minimal music has always lent itself to excellent Vocal colourings. This is one of a multitude of examples. "Francis John Tovey (8 September 1956 – 3 April 2002), known also by his stage name Fad Gadget, was a British avant-garde electronic musician and vocalist. He was a proponent of both new wave and early industrial music, fusing pop-structured songs with mechanised experimentation. //// As Fad Gadget, his music was characterised by the use of synthesizers in conjunction with sounds of found objects, including drills and electric razors. His bleak, sarcastic and darkly humorous lyrics were filled with biting social commentary toward subjects such as machinery, industrialisation, consumerism, human sexuality, mass media, religion, domestic violence and dehumanization, often sung in a deadpan voice."		0:23:55 (Pop-up)
Killing Joke	Wardance "Wardance" by "Killing Joke"	Killing Joke	Editions EG	1980	Excerpt from a review on 'Post-Punk Monk' --- “This was a band that was bending the rigid metal framework of Krautrock in some new and darker directions. Those pounding, martial, yet motorik drums of Paul Ferguson were straight from the Klaus Dinger playbook. You may be aware that we melt before the urgency of Krautrock rhythms here at PPM. But Jaz Coleman’s vocals on the biting “Wardance” were run through a ring modulator, making it sound like a Dalek-led version of Neu! It took a strong vision to imagine this abrasive song as a single, yet it ultimately was."		0:27:15 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: New Age Doom, Lee "Scratch" Perry (Remixed by Ian Blurton)	Conquer The Sin (Repenter Version)	Remix the Universe (Expanded Version)	We Are Busy Bodies	2023	Released March 24, 2023. Echoed-out dubby vocal effects here, in true Perry fashion. Ian Blurton is a fixture of the Toronto scene (Neon Rome, Cowboy Junkies, Change Of Heart, Blurtonia, C'Mon, et. al), and remixes one of the tracks from Lee "Scratch" Perry's last album, itself a collaboration w/ Vancouver's New Age Doom... From the desks of We Are Busy Bodies: "We Are Busy Bodies presents Remix The Universe, a compilation of new perspectives on The Upsetter’s final collaborative album, 2021’s acclaimed Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Guide to the Universe by New Age Doom. /// Remix The Universe features new versions by artists from the post-hardcore, experimental hip hop, indie rock, EDM and ambient spheres.

Apparat Organ Quartet	Stereo Rock & Roll	Apparat Organ Quartet	12 Tónar	2002	Apparat Organ Quartet was founded in 1999 in Reykjavík, Iceland. n 2002, Apparat Organ Quartet released their self-titled debut album on the Thule Records label in Iceland; in 2005, the album was re-released on the Icelandic 12 Tónar label in a new remastered version. The second album of the band, Pólýfónía, was released on 9 December 2010 on 12 Tónar in Iceland, and in 2011 by the Danish label Crunchy Frog in Scandinavia. The band's sound has evolved from the atmospheric and minimalistic post-rock documented on the Kitchen Motors compilations "Nart Nibbles" and "Motorlab 2" to a more robust, riff-driven sound, with a mixture of Kraftwerk-inspired electronics, Daft Punk-like robot voices, and hard rock beats. They have been compared to such different acts as Kraftwerk, Wagner, Goblin, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Sigur Rós, the Glitter Band, Stereolab and Trans Am.		0:42:15 (Pop-up)
Kings Have Long Arms	Re-Enter The Two Tone Deaf	Re-Enter The Two Tone Deaf 7"	Uncharted Records	2002	Kings Have Long Arms are an English "rocktronica" act, formed in Sheffield and masterminded by Salford-born Adrian Flanagan. Kings Have Long Arms have collaborated with Philip Oakey from the Human League on the track "Rock and Roll Is Dead", Marion from the Lovers and Mira from Ladytron. Flanagan has since gone on to many excellent and wonderful projects including The Eccentronic Research Council and Moonlandingz. His current project is Acid Klaus, and highly recommended!		0:46:20 (Pop-up)
Bruce Haack	Rita "Rita" by "Bruce Haack"	Farad: The Electric Voice (comp)	Stones Throw Records	2010	There was certainly nobody like Haack, a pioneering creator of electronic musical gizmos and author of some of the weirdest kids’ music the world has ever heard. In 1969, the man built a vocoder, named it “Farad”, and started singing songs through it. Haack’s name has long been a talisman for electronic music freaks like Add N to (X) and Beck, and sometimes you can hear the influence. Haack’s only major label album, 1970’s Electric Lucifer, blends electro chirps with Farfisa psych and hippy-dippy lyrics, a mix that seemed prescient in the late ’90s when everybody got tired of angry guitar rock. it’s obvious why Haack is important in the annals of electronic music. Famous musicians dig him, he beat Kraftwerk to the musical vocoder punch, and he released two albums called Electric Lucifer. These are noble achievements, indeed.		0:51:09 (Pop-up)
Trans Am	Television Eyes "Television Eyes" by "Trans Am"	Futureworld	Thrill Jockey	1999	It is the end of the century. We are all afraid. And then Trans Am releases an uncompromising, challenging album of ripping motorik grooves and synthetic vocals. It was the perfect album for the time, capturing angst, and embracing an uncertain future where machines and AI rule us all. They weren't wrong. Somewhere in a fantasy world, on green pastures of silicon motherboard, in clubs shaped liked RAM chips and transistors, Trans Am is the only rock band with soul, precision, licks, swagger, ambience, and good looks to boot.		0:55:03 (Pop-up)
Add N to (X)	You Must Create "You Must Create" by "Add N to (X)"	Add Insult To Injury	Mute	2000	U.K. synthesizer abusers Add N to (X) have spent years terrorizing their instruments to earn the reputation as one of the harder, creepier and freakier electronic outfits on this or any other planet. While You Must Create may emphasize texture over structure, it is a relentless groove with waves of sound built to get lost in as you nod in and out of conscious reality. Add N To (X) might be a band that is impossible to pigeonhole..but for that reason there is just so much about them to love...		0:59:45 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Egyptian Lover	Got To Get It "Got To Get It" by "The Egyptian Lover"	1984	Egyptian Empire	2015	We need to talk about the influence of the vocoder and talkbox on early electronic music, specifically Detroit Electro and techno, as well as its influence in hip hop and funk. Artists like Egyptian Lover, Dazz Band, Cybotron, Whodini, and more incoporated this sound into the musical lexicon and made it completely theirs.		1:03:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Stevie Wonder	Race Babbling "Race Babbling" by "Stevie Wonder"	Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants	Motown	1979	Secret Life of Plants was a massive departure for Stevie Wonder and a hugely ambitious creative risk. It is the soundtrack to the documentary The Secret Life of Plants, directed by Walon Green, which was based on the book of the same name by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. It has been called "goofy", "nerdy", "odd", "pointless" and "foolish", and for listeners and critics it was seen as too much of a departure from his string of melodic albums. However, some critics have also described it as "courageous", "achingly sweet", and "bafflingly beautiful". Berry Gordy lamented "the one million copies we pressed turned out to be 900,000 too many"		1:07:46 (Pop-up)
Coil	Disco Hospital "Disco Hospital" by "Coil"	Love's Secret Domain (30th Anniversary 2021 Remaster) [Bonati]	Wax Trax! Records	1991 / 2021	Samplers & Vocals = the modern day cut-up. "The recording sessions for Love's Secret Domain were characterized by Coil's compulsive drug use at the time, along with sleep deprivation which apparently led to conflict between members; Peter Christopherson remarked that '[he could] remember Balance and Steve having these mad arguments that would go on for 48 hours without sleep over which sequence of words should be used'. In a period of constant drug use during the sessions, they both struggled with using the studio mixing room due to constant hallucinations of '10 foot tall Amazonian warriors and Babylonian kings' who were 'crowding' the room. Stephen Thrower admitted he had experienced synchronized hallucinations with Balance during this period. The album's emphasis on sampling was inspired by the acid house scene, although it is less explicitly indebted to the dance style than the contemporaneous work of Psychic TV."		1:15:56 (Pop-up)
The Fall	4 1/2 Inch "4 1/2 Inch" by "The Fall"	Levitate	Artful	1997	Chopped up, multi-effected, mulit-panned, multi-layered vocals, all competing against each other & running amok through this track, a chaos and multiplicity of Mark E. Smith(s) - I love it! One of my favs. From the "Annotated Fall" website: "According to Simon Ford's Hip Priest, the song got its name "because it half-reminded Smith of industrial rockers, Nine-Inch Nails" (252). An earlier version is simply called "Inch," however. This is a tough one as far as the lyrics go, because the vocals are layered (it is my understanding that the version from the Lyrics Parade--which I reproduce above--is a transcription by fans rather than something that the band published). As far as interpretation goes, it's even tougher, and probably isn't meant to be explained. Rather, these lyrics are a good example of MES letting the language take over, which is often the goal of Fall lyrics, but this one just jumps right into the deep end and never looks back. The effect at times achieves what passes for poetry in the Fall universe--a pile of verbal imagery that somehow achieves sublimity without being mediated through the discipline of poetry. It's not altogether uncommon for rock lyricists to write like that (in a very general way, of course nobody else could be mistaken for MES) but I think it is not very common for this method to result in such exalted creations as we get in the very best Fall lyrics (I wouldn't put this song in that category, since you asked, but these are formal considerations and I am speaking in generalities). It's hard to imagine a phrase as ridiculous as "ecstatic midges" fitting so comfortably into the canon of a truly great lyricist other than MES, but here we have it, and that's where it fits."		1:18:08 (Pop-up)
Primal Scream	Stuka "Stuka" by "Primal Scream"	Vanishing Point	Reprise Records	1997	Lovely vocal fx here. This album is the one that made me realise that Primal Scream had something more "teethy" to offer & was when I first started following them keenly. "Vanishing Point is the fifth studio album by Scottish rock band Primal Scream. It was released on 7 July 1997 in the United Kingdom by Creation Records and in the United States by Reprise Records. It peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. The album shows inspiration from genres such as dub, ambient, dance music, and krautrock, as well as bands such as Motörhead, Can, and the Stooges. It was the band's first album to feature Gary 'Mani' Mounfield on bass, formerly of the Stone Roses, although Marco Nelson played bass on "Burning Wheel", "Star", "If They Move, Kill 'Em'", and "Stuka". Other guest appearances on Vanishing Point include Augustus Pablo, Glen Matlock, and the Memphis Horns. //// Gillespie has described the album as an anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road-movie record. It is named after and inspired by the 1971 film Vanishing Point, especially the song "Kowalski", which is meant to be an alternative soundtrack of the movie. Lead singer Bobby Gillespie said, "The music in the film is hippy music, so we thought, 'Why not record some music that really reflects the mood of the film?' It's always been a favourite of the band, we love the air of paranoia and speed- freak righteousness. It's impossible to get hold of now, which is great! It's a pure underground film, rammed with claustrophobia.""		1:22:07 (Pop-up)
David Byrne & Brian Eno	Mea Culpa	My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts [Expanded]	Sire / Nonesuch	1981 / 2005	Features: " – inflamed caller and smooth politician replying, both unidentified; radio call-in show, New York, July 1979." //// David Byrne says [excerpt from a 2005 essay on the making of the album]... "Brian had previously begun work on some recordings that incorporated found voices, and he brought these to the table - one of these pieces became Mea Culpa- it already had layers of vocal loops. There were some instrumental tracking recordings made in NY at this point which I was part of- and these were really Brian’s instigations. It was maybe around about this point that the imaginary culture idea resurfaced. We knocked around the idea of isolating ourselves in the California desert and emerging after a while with a finished record, which we would say wasn’t ours. We did go out to California, but only to LA, which is where the project began in earnest- I believe it was there that we both realized that the “found vocal” idea would be the thread that would pull the record together. We also abandoned the imaginary cultural artifact idea too- at least explicitly, though I suspect this fantasy continued to guide us in a subconscious way. I suspect the found vocal idea also appealed to us as it eliminated any conflict or competition between us as singers..."		1:27:49 (Pop-up)

Cylob	Rewind - Vocal "Rewind - Vocal" by "Cylob"	Cymply The Best 93-01	Cylob Industries	2014	Chris Jeffs (born in 1976), best known by the stage name Cylob, is a British electronic musician and producer closely associated with Aphex Twin. He has produced seven albums, three compilations and a number of remixes.[ His career evolved after he gave a demo tape to Aphex Twin at a gig in early 1993, who subsequently signed Jeffs to his Rephlex label a short time after. Since his debut, he has released 13 singles and 5 albums on Rephlex, in addition to the EP Spider Report for Breakin' Records. Unfortunately he no longer produces music due to issues with tinnitus.		1:39:38 (Pop-up)
Giorgio Moroder	First Hand Experience In Second Hand Love	From Here To Eternity	Island	1977	One of THE most important disco records ever released...and by the architect of the sound of the future. First Hand Experience is like seeing God on the dancefloor...sleazy, playful, charming, angelic, transcendent, and very, very sexy. Moroder is an interesting case because he sidesteps most "disco sucks" arguments due to the fact that he did write his own stuff, did produce it, and even went to so far as to design much of his studio. Like Kraftwerk, he had long been interested in the possibilities of electronic music in pop, and with partner Pete Bellotte, used his background in pop songwriting and arranging to forge one of the most successful production partnerships of the 70s. At their Musicland studios in Munich, Germany, the pair made their greatest claim to fame making records for Donna Summer, though Moroder also worked with Sparks, Blondie, and Japan, among dozens of others. ALL HAIL MORODER!		1:42:49 (Pop-up)
Pan Pan, Melantini	Χτύπα με σαν ρεύμα στην πίστα	Χτύπα με σαν ρεύμα στην πίστα / Σεμπάστιαν 7"	Floriko Party	2021	"Hit Me Like Electricity On The Dancefloor" Pan Pan was born and lives in Athens, GR. He makes music with synths and samplers and stomp pedals and tape recorders that he has collected throughout the years. "The Ghost Boy leaves behind the endless dawn and goes from the morning stupor, to the routine of the day, to the evening revelry."		1:47:40 (Pop-up)
I Monster	Heaven "Heaven" by "I Monster"	Neveroddoreven	Dharma Records	2004	Monster was born in 1998. The gentlemen responsible are Dean Honer (Add N to X) and Jarrod Gosling. They specialise in a sort of left field psychedelic, new wave, electronic pop, sort of. They are from Sheffield. Jarrod has many, many organs and is also in Cobalt Chapel. I Monster are fantastic and I urge everyone to check out their impressive catalogue. This song beautifully demonstrates how otherworldly and gorgeous a vocoder can be when used to great effect in creating a romantic vibe.		1:51:36 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Boards Of Canada	In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country	In a Beautiful Place Out in The Country-EP	Warp Records	2000	Boards of Canada are not from Canada. The are are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, formed initially as a group in 1986 before becoming a duo in the 1990s. Both brothers attended the University of Edinburgh, where Michael studied music and Marcus studied artificial intelligence, though Marcus dropped out before completing his degree. They are best described as ""a hazy sound of smeared synth-tones and analog-decayed production, carried by patient, sleepwalking beats, and aching with nostalgia" while crediting them with "reinvent[ing]" elements of psychedelia through the deliberate misuse of technology"....		1:55:27 (Pop-up)
Pete Drake	Forever "Forever" by "Pete Drake"	Pete Drake and His Talking Steel Guitar 7"	Philips	1963	Pete Drake was not the first, but definitely one of the first...and while this is not by definition, a vocoder...it still counts! His innovative use of what would be called the talk box, later used by Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Roger Troutman and Jeff Beck, added novel effects to the pedal steel guitar. The album Pete Drake and His Talking Steel Guitar harkened back to the sounds of Alvino Rey and his wife Luise King, who first modulated a guitar tone with the signal from a throat microphone in 1939. In his words: "You play the notes on the guitar and it goes through the amplifier. I have a driver system so that you disconnect the speakers and the sound goes through the driver into a plastic tube. You put the tube in the side of your mouth then form the words with your mouth as you play them. You don't actually say a word: The guitar is your vocal cords, and your mouth is the amplifier. It's amplified by a microphone."		2:00:49 (Pop-up)

	8:13pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello lobely Blush! Hello Hello Ali!!!! Yes it is true Blush! I had a pair of huge yoko ono sunglasses and I attached a wireless mic to them, connected to my synth...so I was wire free vocoder. It was some of my best work, lol. The mic was from a Britney spears branded headset mic that we bought at Target in Hollywood, LOL
	8:13pm DJ Babs: Well I hope everyone is doing great tonight! We are in fine spirits here!
	8:15pm DJ Babs: Also Blush you are both lovely AND lobely! Lol
	8:16pm Derek Westerholm: Nothing says "let's get this party started" like a moody minimal Siouxsie B-Side.
	8:16pm DJ Babs: That’s my fella LOL
	8:17pm SuperJen: Hi all!
	8:17pm ultradamno: Seems like Vocokesh would lean on the vocoder a lot, but they usually just put 'electronics' and 'noises' on the records so I don't know...
	8:17pm DJ Babs: Well we hope to have a few unexpected surprises, vocoder and not!
	8:18pm DJ Babs: I enjoyed that bonus howl Derek lol
	8:18pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Noble Rot!!! Nice.
	8:19pm DJ Babs: Honestly so very excited about this project. Two of our best bands coming together YES PLEASE
	8:19pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:17 I must get more familiar with Vocokesh
	8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @8:18 Quite digging the rot!
	8:21pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Alli! Hello SuperJen!
	8:21pm DJ Babs: Hi Superjen!
	8:22pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:20 Me too…very much.
	8:22pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:19 Closely related to F/i (with Franecki concentrating on gtr more than electronics on one more than the other, I think is the distinction)
	8:23pm SuperJen: Loving the selections so far!
	8:23pm DJ Babs: Ahh Prolapse really just did not get the love they deserved!
	8:25pm DJ Babs: Thank you Jen! Looking forward to my guest spot on More Noise Please! Which is a great show people should check out!
	8:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:22 Ahhh this does pique my interest indeed! UD you always have the good picks!
	8:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:23 Jen, so glad you are loving the selections... Makes us very happy!
	8:26pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:23 Unfortunately whenever I hear the name Prolapse, my brain wrongly and sadly to Prozzak. “Sucks to be me”
	8:27pm SuperJen: Oohh this is one of my favourite Fad Gadget tunes
	8:27pm DJ Babs: Haha! My brain goes automatically to something even less pleasant having to do with an uncomfortable bottom LOL
	8:28pm DJ Babs: ↳ SuperJen @8:27 I wonder if tovey had not passed if he would have returned to making this type of excellent music
	8:28pm SuperJen: And really the entire Fireside Favourites album
	8:28pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:27 Wild! It's a weirdly catchy one, for all the harshness of it, it's also an earworm...
	8:29pm DJ Babs: He was very good at that…finding the hook in the disquieting….
	8:29pm SuperJen: It's soooo good.
	8:29pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Insecticide" by "Fad Gadget" I love Tovey's album with the most difficult first wave industrial dude Boyd Rice "Easy Listening For The Hard Of Hearing"
	8:31pm DJ Babs: He sure was a force to be reckoned with. I’d have loved to see those early live gigs
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:28 One of the things I read had mentioned that Tovey hadn't had too much studio experience at that early stage, so he let most of the decisions up to Daniel Miller. Which would make me happy, anyway. Don't know how much truth there is to it, but it certainly makes sense.
	8:31pm DJ Babs: Very Dalek inspired vocals here lol
	8:32pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:31 Cuing doctor who:)
	8:32pm DJ Babs: MeepMoop is snoozing gently through all the racket lol
	8:33pm ultradamno: Seems like a lot of Chrome would fit in with this set
	8:33pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:32 Daleks used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid lol
	8:34pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:32 Is MeepMoop your cat? The old doctor who had some really cheesy monsters and special effects
	8:34pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:33 Don't go to NYC www.msn.com...
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:34 Yes MeepMoop is our little siamese cat! He's the Moopervisor!
	8:35pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:34 Yikes
	8:35pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 Aww nice feline overlord
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:34 They look much less threatening than those creepy robot dogs!
	8:36pm SuperJen: Babs totally off topic but did you see Gilla Band is coming back finally?
	8:36pm DJ Babs: YES WE ARE GOING
	8:36pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 The robot dogs were just about one beat short of the ones from Black Mirror!
	8:37pm DJ Babs: Tickets on sale tomorrow!!!! EEEE I have been waiting ages to see them!
	8:37pm SuperJen: YES! Tickets on sale in the morning I think.
	8:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:36 Seriously they are disturbing as fuck...

	8:46pm SuperJen: If that hqppens I will cry
	8:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:33 I was thinking Chrome all week, but never fit it in for some reason.
	8:46pm Robm: Now this really sounds like a dalek
	8:46pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ SuperJen @8:46 Me too!!!
	8:47pm DJ Babs: Goddamn it we really need to do better than tape for making this mic work LOL
	8:47pm DJ Babs: ↳ SuperJen @8:46 The Gilla Band show is slated to be at the Drake too...which I find...odd...
	8:47pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 Bring back the Britney mic. 😂
	8:47pm SuperJen: This tune is awesome
	8:48pm ultradamno: Back to mono, robot!
	8:48pm Robm: I am half expecting this voice to start yelling exterminate
	8:48pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:47 Maybe it’s G!lla Band not Gilla Band. Lol
	8:49pm SuperJen: I thought so too! The Drake?? Haven't been to a show there in years. Probably the last one was the Evaporators?
	8:50pm DJ Babs: I love rock and roll stompy tunes with vocoder voices...it's a thing!
	8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @8:49 "Doot doola doot doo"

	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:34 Ah robot police. How charming.
	8:58pm DJ Blush: Great tunes so far
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Has anyone had any encounters w. robots lately?
	8:59pm DJ Babs: Glad you are enjoying them! Got some crazy stuff coming ahead!
	8:59pm DJ Babs: This album LEGIT changed my life!
	9:00pm DJ Babs: These are Dalek vocals for SURE
	9:00pm laurapanic: Damn got the time wrong, here I am
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: Before the pandemic, we went to a robot-sushi restaurant in the suburbs w/ my nephews & family. There were humans, too, but robots definitely enjoyed bringing things by to our table.
	9:01pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Laura! Anytime is the right time here on the Beach!
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:00 All time is acceptable!
	9:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Television Eyes" by "Trans Am" so good! I saw them have a fight amongst themselves in a tiny room in my regional town in Australia 20 odd years ago. They were also very good.
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: Hi Laura, great to see you!
	9:01pm DJ Babs: I definitely enjoyed the robot sushi.
	9:02pm laurapanic: I have many trans am albums. And their recent stuff is still great. So good.
	9:02pm DJ Blush: Just had a sushi feast... when the cat's away, the mouse... will eat sushi
	9:02pm DJ Babs: If I remember correctly the resto also had a lifesize statue of a woman that looked disturbingly like a real doll sex doll in a kimono and her fingers were bent all the wrong way this and that it was VERY uncanny valley....
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:02 Did not notice/recall that.
	9:02pm Tyler: Good Evening!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Tyler! Welcome welcome!
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Blush @9:02 Sushi served by robots?
	9:03pm Tyler: Just in time for Add N To (X)!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:02 I took pictures I will show you derek, lol
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:02 'Eve Tyler! Enjoying April summer?
	9:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Television Eyes" by "Trans Am" They and Pan•American should merge and become Prawns•American (throwing in the w to follow up on sushi)
	9:03pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:03 Hi Babs! Thanks!
	9:04pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 Hi Derek! Yes, quite hot!
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 Lol!
	9:04pm ultradamno: Is sushi served by robots what's happening at Kanye West's school? www.msn.com...
	9:05pm DJ Babs: It’s not often us Canadians can complain about the heat in April LOL
	9:05pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:04 Honestly that whole scene is a serious hot mess
	9:06pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 There was a recent X-Files in which Mulder & Scully go to a Sushi restaurant all run by robots.
	9:06pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:04 Hmm... There's some problematic things there, if I were being judgy.
	9:07pm ultradamno: If you leave it up to the students, they will not get their daily recommended allowance of mercury
	9:07pm DJ Blush: Hey Tyler!
	9:08pm Derek Westerholm: Robot sushi: www.google.ca...
	9:08pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:07 The latest Amazon is making sure everyone is getting their daily overdose of Mercury :)
	9:08pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Blush @9:07 Hello Britt!
	9:09pm Derek Westerholm: Ah yes, it was called Robo Sushi
	9:09pm Tyler: ↳ Tyler @9:08 The latest Amazon ad campaign*
	9:09pm Tyler: The Vocoder was invented by the Cylons :)
	9:12pm DJ Blush: So sick
	9:13pm Tyler: Wendy Carlos would have also been one of the earlier popular uses of the vocoder.
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:13 I love how fact-y the beach can be... You are all wonderful!
	9:16pm ultradamno: You should look into the MX-80 Sound song Facts-Facts to use as a theme song
	9:20pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:13 Yes absolutely!!! I forgot to mention her!
	9:20pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:16 Ha! We got facts here! Many facts! Most of them factual!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: And Fall! This is so freakin fun.
	9:22pm Tyler: I was watching a video online recently demonstrating the difference between vocoder, talkbox & text-to-speech which was quite interesting.
	9:22pm SuperJen: Always love the Fall
	9:23pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 Mark E. Smith is the ghost in the machine :)
	9:23pm laurapanic: Thank goodness. Derek playing me Fall again. I get sad when he doesn't
	9:24pm SuperJen: I had a friend say to me once that they hate vocoder and I was like WHAT but he meant auto tune like how it is often used since that Cher song
	9:24pm DJ Babs: Yes! Talk boxes very different! There is an awesome vid of argh…his name escapes me…but a steel pedal big band guy…not Pete Drake…playing St. Louis Blues with a big bend and there’s a creepy puppet called “stringy the talking guitar” onstage Mimi g to the talk box vocals. It really is something else…
	9:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ SuperJen @9:24 Yeah that’s a WHOLE different thing entirely!!!
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:23 Yes, I was sad I made you sad. Mental note: always play The Fall.
	9:26pm ultradamno: Autotune would be fine if they were only used on animal noises instead of rappers trying to do slow jams
	9:26pm DJ Babs: In my electro band days we put out a track and decided to fuck around with the auto tune cranked for the vocal effect and I had to sing a COMPLETELY different melody to get the melody we wanted lol. It actually worked very well!
	9:26pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:26 FALL For ALL Occasions!
	9:27pm DJ Babs: T Pain ruined it for us all lol
	9:27pm SuperJen: Agreed! And talk box I usually think of Peter Frampton or Bon Jovi but there must be some good examples haha
	9:27pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:27 Also Dr. Dre & Motley Crue :)
	9:28pm ultradamno: Frampton made those an immediate novelty because that live album got so big so quick
	9:28pm DJ Babs: For sure. Roger Troutman to me will always be king of the talk box
	9:28pm SuperJen: I'd like to hear that Babs! What was your electro band and are tracks online?
	9:28pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 Seriously who likes Peter Frampton?
	9:29pm DJ Blush: PROCON!
	9:29pm ultradamno: I just don't think any guitarist should have a tube in his mouth onstage.
	9:29pm DJ Blush: Pulled the vinyl out the other day
	9:29pm DJ Babs: Haha! Yes it was ProCon and that track in particular was called Meth Whore
	9:29pm SuperJen: Thanks!
	9:30pm DJ Babs: ↳ DJ Blush @9:29 Aww buddy you are more brave than I LOL ❤️
	9:30pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:28 I remember an X interview where Billy Zoom said Frampton was the only person who could have an album called Comes Alive and lack credibility
	9:30pm Tyler: Ahhh... nice ENO & Byrne!
	9:31pm DJ Babs: Hahaha!
	9:32pm SuperJen: This is a great collab
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Mea Culpa" by "David Byrne & Brian Eno" I can't think of another album that had a greater impact on my as a youngster
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ SuperJen @9:32 I absolutely love this period of all the TH albums + side projects... Even the Jerry Harrison "The Red & The Black" one, which is overlooked and definitely has strong moments.
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: me
	9:34pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:33 Rich, hi! And that's lovely to know. It's a really special album.
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: Hi Babs N' Derek! Listening in my new digs while cooking up some din din.
	9:35pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 I mixed this song with Godspeed You Black Emperor and it worked really well.
	9:36pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 I wish they had kept Jerry away from the mic on some of the Tom Tom Club songs, though :)
	9:36pm ultradamno: cuttin' in and out
	9:37pm Tyler: We need to crowd-fund a new mic cable for you Derek & Babs - you're breaking up again :)
	9:37pm SuperJen: Sounds like a great mix, Tyler. Is this Tyler z? Or a different Tyler?
	9:38pm Tyler: ↳ SuperJen @9:37 Yes, it's me with the 'Z'. This is More Noise Jen?
	9:39pm SuperJen: It is! I didn't know you DJ. I'd love to hear. Msg me a link if ya got one!
	9:39pm Tyler: ↳ SuperJen @9:39 I don't really DJ - just make a lot of mixes :)
	9:39pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Tyler @9:38 Have you ever signed a Z with a sword before whilst wearing a black mask?
	9:40pm SuperJen: Well i would love to hear that also
	9:40pm Tyler: @Derek - Mark E. Smith got his ears flushed & realized he didn't need to use the bullhorn on every song :)
	9:41pm Tyler: ↳ SuperJen @9:40 Thanks - I'll give you an SD card sometime.
	9:42pm Tyler: Cold Spring Records has been putting out quite a renaissance of Coil reissues recently.
	9:43pm ultradamno: I'd think after the pro ear flushing would be the ideal time to make a record. Before, on the other hand...
	9:43pm Tyler: So, this is 'Text-To-Speech' on this track
	9:45pm Tyler: My old Amiga computer had 'Text-To-Speech' which I abused from time to time back in the 90's :)
	9:46pm DJ Babs: Yes! Also used to great effect by Radiohead. There was also a voice box made by Realistic called the "Vocalist" that did artificial harmonies for solo singers...and it had a setting that made a similar effect. I wish I still had mine!
	9:46pm SuperJen: Yesss I love this Moroder album
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:36 Tyler, I think it was likely Chris Frantz re: the Tom Tom Club, no? Or am I mistaken?
	9:46pm Tyler: Moroder - nice! I have this record. He doesn't get enough credit for his influence on New Wave.
	9:47pm ultradamno: Tom Tom Club vs Byrne www.stereogum.com...
	9:47pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 Underworld also used 'Text-To-Speech' to good effect.
	9:47pm DJ Babs: Agreed. His production is just so, so good on this record. He also doesn't get credit for his influence on House music...which this album very much informs!
	9:47pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:46 Right you are - Chris - not Jerry. My mistake! :)
	9:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:47 Personallly I know this might be sacrilege but I'm on team Tina Weymouth...he treated her like garbage....
	9:48pm ultradamno: Jerry is my favorite of the lot, 'cause Modern Lovers.
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:47 I hear New Order cribbing a lot of ideas from this album, as well. Moroder obviously also collaborated with Japan and others.
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:48 Agree. That organ solo on 'Roadrunner' :)
	9:50pm SuperJen: His appreciated basslines are still copied to this ray but most probably don't know where it really came from
	9:50pm SuperJen: Day not ray
	9:51pm SuperJen: Also autocorrected arpegiated haha
	9:52pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 Tina's contributions on the Talking Heads demos from 1975 are my favourite part of those recordings. DB is quite socially awkward & didn't handle the TH break-up very well at all, but I think the band had pretty much run its course by that time. There were 10 or 15 of them by that time.
	9:52pm DJ Babs: I love this wonky ass synth tune
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 I'm sure it's hard to know what's at the heart of interpersonal band & relational dynamics.
	9:54pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 Have you ever seen the Documentary Now! episode based on them? It plays that up... www.imdb.com...
	9:54pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:53 Kind of reminds me of the Galaxie 500 break-up - couple dynamic versus single dynamic. Very difficult in a band.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: I am sure that Byrne being somewhat on the spectrum has much to do with it as well...as will happen. And yes that Documentary Now episode is GOLD
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:54 Yes, hilarious!
	9:55pm DJ Babs: This tune...<french kiss> it is PERFECTION
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:52 That demo is great! And agreed!
	9:56pm Tyler: I wish The Tom Tom Club would put out more albums. Jerry Harrison is currently touring with Adrian Belew and doing TH material.
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:56 I did not know that about JH + AB
	9:57pm DJ Babs: There's a Jerry Harrison appreciation fan group on Facebook that is utterly hilarious and amazing.
	9:57pm ultradamno: They should do one off Another State Of Mind...there's a lot to work with in that. There was a really good Agnes Varda one in the last season.
	9:57pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:56 I thought Tom Tom Club were doing things, even currently...?
	9:57pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:57 Didn't know this. Will have to look it up!
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 Hmm... Maybe not.
	9:58pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 Are they? Hasn't come across my radar - will have to investigate.
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:58 No, I was likely wrong. :)
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: Oh, there we go... A Tom Tom Club collab from 2022. I knew I'd come across something... relix.com...
	10:00pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:58 To me that's the missed opportunity. I doubt TH will ever have a fruitful reunion, but The Tom Tom Club still had/has a lot of room to grow.
	10:00pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @10:00 Thanks, Derek!
	🏝 10:00pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek! Persevering despite inferior gaffer tape, to bring us your joys! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻🌻❤️
	10:02pm ultradamno: Seems like, with that name, Giorgio Moroder would have wound up with a perfume line without even trying
	10:02pm Tyler: THANK YOU Derek, Babs & Major MeepMoop for another stimulating & thought-provoking installment!
	10:03pm DJ Blush: THANKS GUYS!!
	10:03pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @10:02 Vocoder - the new fragrance by Giorgio Moroder...
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a great show tonight! See ya on the radio next week!
	10:04pm SuperJen: Thanks for the great show!
	10:04pm ultradamno: (whispering) can you smell the voice of the robots? VOCODER
	10:04pm Tyler: G'night Britt, Jen, Ultra and all the other Beachers in the chat! Nice spending time with you.
	10:05pm Derek Westerholm: Thank-you all!!!!! It would be lonely without you.
	10:05pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 A hint of WD-40 in the air :)
	10:05pm DJ Babs: Awesome! Thank you all so much and heya Rich! great to see yas! We'll be back with more vocoder stuff soon I am sure!!! Thanks for indulging this robot lovin' gal!!
	10:06pm Tyler: This song reminds me that George Harrison uses 'Talkbox' on the 'Wonderwall' soundtrack to some ENO-esque effect...
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: I recommend the book How To Wreck A Nice Beach about vocoders
	10:07pm ultradamno: Speaking of bots, I'm off to watch Battlebots
	10:08pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:06 Thanks Rich, will have to investigate! Apt name, haha!
