“For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening’s experiment — astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever…” From an 1888 after dinner toast to Thomas Edison by composer Arthur Sullivan (Gilbert’s musical half). You can listen to it right here.

And speaking of which, Climax Golden Twins’ new record will be out soon right here.

So keep an eye peeled.
