| Talking interesting noises, any UK member got a good second hand Theremin for sale but reasonably cheap: prices on e-Bay and the rest of the web range from 25 quid to 1250 dollars? |

Ahhh, let's see: Owls hooting (found on Trace's "Birds Suite" and my own disc on the title track) Fly buzzing (Title track of "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway") Freight Train (on Weather Report's "Gibraltar") Lonely Church Bells (on Vangelis' "Heaven and Hell") Breaking glass (Gentle Giant - intro to "Runaway" and National Health's "Collapso")

| I like the helicopter on The Wall, the spinning coin on Gentle Giant's Octopus, and the elevator and crowd noises on Wish You Were Here. Also, though he may not be prog, I like the many, many times Roy Harper bursts into uncontrollable laughter on his albums. |

The best sound effect of all time appears on Roger Waters' "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking". At the end of the song "Sexual Revolution" comes the line "So she picked up the doggie in the window/the one with the waggly tail/ And she put it to bed/ Between two bits of bread". Just then comes the sound of someone taking a bite of an incredibly crusty sandwich. Perfect! |

I like the traffic noise on IQ's 'Further Away'.That seems well placed in the context of the song.But you missed the best out: SHEEP!

| And speaking of Roy Harper (I Know, I'm the only one who was), how about vomiting? How many albums can you name with the sound of puking on them? |

Not exactly prog, but the British doom band Cathedral used the sound of a flushing toilet at the end of their epic 'Voyage Of The Homeless Sapien'. Very cool! -------------  |

I like the bubbling water and bird noises in Jail- House Frog by Amon Duul II Also laughter at the begining of Even Less by Porcupine Tree On the track Restless Sky by Amon Duul II near the end of the track the singer sounds like he is vomiting I also love bells on songs like the bell tolling at the begining of Xanadu, In fact Progressive metal bands love the bells! But I can't think of other examples right now..

Has anybody here heard the original track "Return to Forever" done by
Chick Corea in the early 70s? Flora Purim lets one of the most
nauseating screams out that I've ever heard in my life half-way through
the tune. Its pretty cool. I really like the nature sounds on Rush's "Natural Science".  ------------- I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso? Is that like the bank of Italian soccer death or something?" -my girlfriend |

I was looking for one as well recently but I settled on a device by a company called Alesis called an Air Synth which is a synth that is controlled by hand movements above a light sensitive dome. They cost about £90.00 and I found it to be a very acceptable substitute.

I love the sound of sea and gentle wind in music. Running water can also be very effective, 'Discovery' from 2112 by Rush, the sea shore sounds in 'Natural Science' ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
