The Sound of Pop

Alex Steinweiss

(3:28)  This is an interesting track, in that it features the actual Radio Moscow announcer, so ably imitated by Negativland in Time Zones. 

I kind of admire that, I mean you'd have to work in a radio station during the 70s/80s, when Radio Moscow was sending out programs that turned out to be a great source of free reel-to-reel tape, to appreciate how well they got the quasi-inebriated quality of this man.

And yes, that is Ken Nordine, kicking it off.  Other material is from Colossus: The Forbin Project, Wonderwall, and some demented 78 LP.
