It just occurred to me, while listening to "Keep Talking" by Pink Floyd
that the electronic voice might be Stephen Hawking.
A quick look at Wikipedia confirms this.
Why didn't I figure that one out sooner?

O RLY?
Do we have a source more reliable than Wikipedia to confirm this?
I'm surprised Pink Floyd would bother going to such lengths. (It's not
like you can tell the difference.) Unless they just sampled it from some
pre-existing source, that is...

I remember it being discussed at lengths on radio shows when the album
came out.
Now, whethter my memory is a more reliable source than Wikipedia is
another matter...

They asked, he said yes. You have to remember that around the same
time, he also appeared in Star Trek and Simpsons episodes. It's not
like he's a recluse!

Hmm. Lets see.... A google for Pink Floyd and Stephen Hawking shows
dozens of sites... So, there must be something to it.

They (according to Wikipedia) sampled it from a BBC documentary. Makes
sense. That sort of thing is done all the time. They just get the rights.

J M Jarre's "Revolutions" has a track that was supposed to have been
recorded in orbit, except that the space shuttle exploded. Some artists will
go to surprising lengths. :-)

I just had a look at the sleeve notes. Stephen Hawking is mentioned in
the credits, so I guess it _is_ true.
(Also: Yes, I own the album. I bought the entire thing just for this
single track.)

One of the ones I own the CD for... Though I lost the little leaflet in
the case. There's some pretty good music on that album.
