Presently China jams radio-shows of other countries in a massive way.

The Vatican operates its own propaganda-mechanism since 75 years, now in 40 languages and contaminates brains worldwide. But there are even more aggressive Christian sects that are up to mischief with impunity on constitutional channels. And also the radio-channels everybody knows, abuse the frequencies shot free and round the clock with their damnable repeat of banal music that is able to eat the brains of millions by and by.

Secret services communicate via "number-channels" with their agents and spies worldwide. In many cases one can hear them as a monotonic reciting of numbers in many languages. Pirate-stations are broadcasting in great quantities during the weekends. Many of them want to be seen as kind of a defiance of the systematic brainwashing by the VHF-stations and their dull attempts of entertainment with the same kind of music over and over again.

The value of broadcasting was recognized very early by a real pro of propaganda. Josef Goebbels said in April 1933:"Radio is the latest, if not the most successful means of manipulation of the masses." With this he pinpointed the means that was lying at his feet. His presence in the media at that time surely was the catalyst for calling the VE301 "snout of Goebbels" in the vernacular. The term VE301 for this receiver again has its historic origin in the date of Hitlers takeover on the 30th of January in 1933. Albert Einstein began his speech about the still new medium in 1930 with the famous words: "Dear attendants and absents!"

Lale Andeson is also a historic person who gained gigantic fame through radio in the 2nd World War. The song "Lili Marleen" is certainly still known by many people today. All these people found a place on the CD. It fascinates me since almost 2 decades. Its history, its sounds and its mysterious signals are my inspiration for this CD.
