Re: OT- An interesting book

Wow, sounds fascinating!

Just looked up the amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/How-Wreck-Nice-Beach-Vocoder/dp/1933633883/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306962872&sr=8-1

FYI Just finished reading "How To Wreck A Nice Beach- The Vocoder From WWII to Hip-Hop-The Machine Speaks" by Dave Tompkins. Found it to be as informative as it was entertaining with a cavalcade of unlikely characters,devices and places drawn together to relate the history of an unusual tool/instrument, first in it's development and then use for both military and musical purposes. Perhaps right up the alley of a few folks on this list.
