I was trying to find a recording of the 1977 recording by a guy called
Tim Souster. One of the earliest musicians to use electronic
instruments. The album had a computer generated recital of John Keat's
Ode to a Grecian Earn (I think). My brother used to rave about it...
A thing of beauty is a joy forever,
It's loveliness increases,
It will never pass into nothingness,
But still will keep a bower quiet for us,
and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet brething.
The album was called 'Swit Drrimz' because that was what it sounded like.
