his reply-to header points to him rather than the list.  But it's
meant to go to the list, so here it is.)

As I said, I can't find the site I originally downloaded them from.
So rather than mail them to anyone interested, I've put them online

Christophe, you might want to listen to these and see if they sound
less monosyllabic than the recording you heard.  It might be that we
just have different tolerances for what we perceive as a pure cluster
(Tristan, who I sent them to before, agrees with my impression).
