That was one of Bell's first ideas to use it for. There was a morbid fear of premature burial then.  I think I’d rather have a telephone. That was one of Bell’s first ideas to use it for.

Coming in the form of highly sound-attuned lace—the delightfully minimalist aspect isn't just astyling exercise; the linen notes are designed to impose aperiodic fidelity. Added to my coffin, the effects were immediately apparent: chewy, perfumed lows and vanilla highs rounded off with a grapey minerality thatunveils the YV70's fruity, perhaps too-acidic tang. Suggestive hints of anise draw the curtains. Available in linen, silk, and black velour, YV70 fabric is available now. Be sure to inform the manufacturer how much you've spent on stereo equipment so it can best serve your needs.
