If you live in the US, it's an age thing. Alberto hair care crap was all over the TV in the 60s and somewhat in the 70s. And *I* knew what albuterol/ventolin was by the time I was, oh, 15 (1971). I thought the song was aptly named. jeff At 09:41 AM 7/19/2001, Irene McC wrote:

"INKEY$ is a command in the BASIC computer language. It is a device I/O function that reads a character from the keyboard. It INputs a KEY and sends it to a STRING variable." (I knew this from the aphex faq)

It's a type of inhaler medicine for asthmatics. I get a light asthma at times, but I use Albuterol (i think!). "salbutamol" as in the "salbutamol mix" is another type of asthma medicine I believe.

Spectrum Basic, isn't it? I never owned one but it looks familiar from old computer magazine listings.

I haven't tried to figure it out, but it looks very like an equation for an inverse Fast Fourier Transform (something which is used a lot in DSP programming and thus digital synthesizers). There are a lot of additive sounds on that track so my guess is that the formula was lifted from the documentation of whatever process was used to generate the sounds, perhaps something like Metasynth.
