![Emergency Alert System (EAS) - 6 Audio Segments
Originally uploaded in February 25, 2008. Now back on YouTube!
Ever heard of The Conet Project? Thats what its like in this video.
Here, I got different segments of the test of the EAS. These Ive collected in 2007 and made them into WAV files. They were from the broadcasts Ive recorded with my Insignia DVD recorder (to see a movie but not expecting the tests to happen). What you would see is the text - disappearing time and again - in the red background (theres a still capture of that image in the first few seconds).
Since these are audio segments, I thought I would include a visualization from the latest version of the Real Player.
Notice what would follow after that familiar noise. It doesnt always have a voice saying This is a test of the Emergency Alert System. It sounded like something out of a radio station. Can you recognize the tunes? The last two segments have a This is a test announcement. The last one is muffled and you could hear this guy talking whenever this lady wasnt.
Brace yourself! This could scare the [your word here] out of you. Emergency Alert System (EAS) - 6 Audio Segments](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ivMKhIvvBdQ/mqdefault.jpg)
![* Guitar Synthesizer Music * NEIL NAPPE - Pickupstix - 1986 Audion CD
Gotta do this while its still July. :-]
Notice that theres a hole in the cover image scan. Its covered by scotch tape. As you may see in front of the CD player, the price tag on the jewel case covers it.
July is the only album I know that was done by Neil Nappe. No keyboards used in making music. According to the back of the album, it was done with Guitar Synthesizer, M.I.D.I. and more M.I.D.I. Released on a short-lived label and not re-issued to this day.
Heres a little quote from him:
July was performed entirely on synthesizers of one sort or another (except for a bit of my trusty 74 Les Paul) and recorded in my home on 4-track cassette format.
Played on my 2003 Fisher SLIM 1400
Audio recorded using the Line In of my Dell Optiplex GX260

Ive seen this on CD and was considering getting it. Well, while I was at a flea market in the Summer of 2010, Ive found this vinyl LP of the album. I got 3 LPs for $3 and I was told that I could get 3 more for free, therefore I got 6 for $3. This record is almost like NEW!
Notice how most of the tracks have 2 tunes. In the CD version, each tune is in a separate track, which makes more sense.
