Just listening to Controversy and feeling nostalgic about Tuesday 14ths aftershow, they used the talk box quite alot that night..It was so funky! An amazing show. I couldn't stop bopping around as it brought back the memories of being 17 again..I still love that funky sound so much even after 20+ years..Did you know that the first talk box was created in 1971 for that old rocker Joe Walsh..It was a well used effects pedal in the 80's thats for sure..Has anyone heard it used on any tracks these days? x

a bunch of canadians calling themselves chromeo
www.myspace.com/chromeo
make quite heavy use of it...

Cheers for that honey..Just listening to them now and I am liking it..Its well 80's and its got some pretty cheesy parts but overall its enjoyable..And I missed them at Fabric last night..Shame! 2 step 2 step 2 step...Fancy footwork fancy foot foot work..x

Yep I like them added them on Myspace a while ago when a friend had them as their profile song.

That wasn't a talk box, that was a vocoder.
U wanna hear a talk box? hear "807" on my myspace page.

Nice to find someone who knows the difference...Been listening and I like that much more...Not dated at all and well groovy...Nice one DreZone! Talk box sounds a bit more real than the deocoder to me, sounds closer and warmer...x
