I've about enjoyed all this I can stand. I'm currently digitizing some stuff from the ambient format, and it sure is weird! One of the tracks is 10 minutes through which every possible PCM value is played once. Another is data recorded in Australia and Antartica of the Indian nuclear tests, rendered as audio. It's on the CD Parallel Lines/Parallel Rhythms. It's on the edition... label, which is run by another WREK alumnus. As Johnny Carson would say, "wild weird stuff." they were. Two reels would be loaded, and reel A would play, then a cart, reel B, a cart, reel A, etc. If you listened to WREK between 1973 and 1997, you surely heard this sometime or another. Well, the last reels were made around 1993 and most were made in the early/mid 80's. When we went digital, we digitized the old reels to give us a starting place. However, we have a big gap in our oldies from the late 80s to the late 90's. I'm trying to put in stuff to plug that a little. I'm not as far on the edge as most of these people, I'm going "Teenage Riot" and "Gouge Away." In the WREK spectrum, I'm a centrist. By commercial radio tastes, i'm way out on the edge but these folks look at me as if I was top 40. Stuck in the middle again! ee months without a signoff back then, and it was an excruciating, back breaking effort. As of today, WREK has been on the air for four months for free. When someone leaves the station, they turn on the robots and away it goes. I love it.
