Sounds of the Ted Chain

Ted's Top Picks

This is the finest music the Ted Chain has to offer. The best of the best. The crème de la crème. We sincerely apologize.

Archdiocese - Wenceslas (1.7MB MP3) - The peak of Ted's sad attempt at what might loosely be called "talent". Archdiocese' version of Good King Wenceslas. Everything is Ted except for the only redeeming part: Chad's incredibly ballsy vocal track. If you like Archdiocese, more can be found on the Archdiocese page. Also check out Last Supper.

Absolute Value - Voices (3.2MB MP3) - The top-rated Ted Chain band, according to the Ted Chain Top 40 for 1997. These guys are really great. You can tell Ted wasn't involved. Actually, Ted did record this, so it's a wonder you can hear them at all.

Ted On It All - Bass In Space (3.6MB MP3) - Ted's song about a bassist. The original two-bar bass line was penned for the Bath-key Bangers by J.J.Jammer. Ted took the bass line, and ran with it, adding drums, guitar, and a rap-inspired set of lyrics. The result is this little jazz number featuring Ted on everything including, unfortunately, the singing. Hold on to your ears, and forget everything you know about tuning...

Get Real
I've converted all sound samples to RealAudio format. After hearing the 16kbps encoder, I was convinced that the true quality of the Ted Chain could finally be done justice. The amount of space saved will allow me to include a much larger variety of samples from the Ted Chain archives. Prepare yourself for an aural assault.

Special Thanks to Keith Richmond for keeping it Real, and providing some serious streaming bandwidth from his ultra-cool server of death. Not to mention doing some sampling for me too. "One thing I really like about low-res RealAudio files is they really make bad recordings sound better..." - Keith Richmond.
