The American synth-pop band Information Society featured a track entitled "300bps N, 8, 1 (Terminal Mode or Ascii Download)" on their album Peace and Love, Inc. that could be decoded to a text message by holding a phone handset connected to a Bell 103 modem up to the speaker playing the track.

When decoded, the content is a tale by Kurt Harland about a bizarre but purportedly true event that took place when the band was playing in the city of Curitiba, Brazil.

@HopelessDemigod @dandrumheller Paul Pashibin from the band worked for Apple in MN. Great guy back in the day of Mac geek meetups, saw the IIfx doing “real time” surface renders before it was released to the public.
