I figured I’d post this here. For anyone who couldn’t open the White Christmas file because it was an ogg, and for anyone who couldn’t play the synth carol because they were all oggs, I’ve converted them to mp3’s. Here’s White Christmas and the Synth Carol in mp3. Enjoy.

Remember last night when I said I would stop talking about robot voices? Well…I can’t just yet. I found two more gems! Oh the internet is a gold mine I tell ya! First up is Dectalk singing Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by the Crash Test Dummies. Whenever it gos into the chorus, I can’t stop …
Ok, I need to stop obsessing about all this old speech stuff. Remember the Echo sample I put up? Well, it came from a whole file full of early synth samples. Some of these, I can’t even understand. And some are amazingly clear. But they must have been made to do what they did by …
