1.  The Iron Foundry, written by an officially supported Soviet
    composer during the 1950's, this composition, which has been
    recorded, is suggestive of events in a foundry.

2.  Ballet Mechanique by George Antheil, written during the
    earlier part of the 20th Century as part of the futurist
    movement.  The performance was promoted by Ezra Pound.

3.  L's G.A. (for voice reading through a helium mask and
    for tape.)  The text is Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
    It sounds like hordes of brain-damaged people reading it.
