Thanks to @sinsalaudio for giving us the opportunity to record our voices directly onto a wax cylinder using an original Edison phonograph 🤯 it was a unique and moving experience! Sad to be leaving Galicia today after having such a wonderful time here, but looking forward to @indietracks tomorrow - we play the indoor stage at 6pm!! 🎼🎪 . . . . #sinsalfestival #galicia #waxrecording #indietracks #bigjoanie #sistahs #sistahpunk (at Galicia, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0X3OvPHc5x/?igshid=1bgxopg643ys9

The closer the present approaches an imagined future, the more it inspires a look backward. As computers became Star Trek pads, people got more interested, for instance, in Babbage's analytical engine or the Antikythera mechanism.

So it's no surprise, but it's still awesome, that a wad of nerdlingers has decided to compare a new wax recording (a la Edison) to one of the first songs to be compressed into an MP3, with both versions sung by the same singer, Suzanne Vega.
