You can also find the quote in the opening of the book "Synthesis" by Herbert A. Deutsch - a very good sourcebook on sound generation and electronic music.

  7. Track 7 5:08
  8. Track 8 13:39

All tracks are untitled. Quoting from the CD booklet:

The sound collages on this disc were created using 8 human voice synthesisers, originally marketed by Texas Instruments as the "Speak & Spell" range of toys during the 1970's. These instruments have been customized with added switches, buttons, knobs, and wiring to give phoneme looping, random phrase generation, various modulations, pitch shifting and other non-standard effects.

Some processing with equilization and effects was then added using a Morley phaser and a modified EMS VCS3.

This process, often called "circuit bending", exploits the inherent instabilities in the circuitry of audio toys, radios, and other soundmaking instruments by sending electronic signals and data to and from previously unrelated circuit-board points giving unique, unpredictable, and highly unusual sounds.
