Thank you Ron!
This is really cool. Thanks!
ReplyDeletefinally ... some wma files that are worth their existence!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Except the Philip Glass, blah. How did that guy ever get a job...
ReplyDeletethese aren't downloading properly.... and it sucks!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing this, Ron!
Btw, you don't happen to have the Sound page that came with the July 1985 issue of Keyboard, featuring Michael Boddicker's mini-soundtrack for "The Magic Egg"?
I have a scan of the article but would love to hear the music.

Hey, the first part of that "cranes in their nest" one is on the Cosmos soundtrack record, but without the echoey effects on the ends of the phrases. Weird.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to find these. If anyone comes up with more of these, I'd love to hear them. I remember there being some Wendy Carlos bits in alternate tunings, and another one with some weird guy singing "children cry for castoria".
ReplyDeleteI used to make mix tapes of these as they came out.
you and Ron are lifesavers! I have had "Starfish Wars" stuck in my head - I couldn't even recall the name, because I always just played the 45, so I didn't think I could find it anywhere online. Plus I didn't remember the artist names (Eric was easy), and I could only remember bits of the dialogue. searching for dialogue including "adamantine", Google managed to bring me here. Thanks so much to both of you for posting these!!
