Learn to count in different languages!

When I heard about this boxset I pretty much knew I had to have it. The label, Irdial, has actually made the recordings available for free download on the internet, and you can also download a PDF of the brochure, but I wanted the package, which is actually very nice! The broadcasts were definitely not made with any artistic intentions, but what Irdial has done is indeed a work of art.

I had a shortwave radio as a kid and would go to the rooftop of my apt. building to listen to all kinds of stuff, like Radio Moscow ("Welcome to Moscow Mailbag") as well as ranting and raving about "imperialistas yanquis" from Cuba. There's all kinds of other weird stuff, like Universal Time stations, weird noises, and the mysterious "numbers stations", which are the subject matter of this collection. I had no idea what these were at the time.

Listening to these recordings is truly surreal. On one hand it is incredibly mundane, with either a totally bored-sounding human or an electronically generated voice reading off numbers and letters. On the other hand listening to these while thinking about the possible hidden messages is quite creepy. It's quite possible that at least some of these messages were instructions that lead to someone's death or "disappearance". What adds to the surrealistic effect is the goofy music, or in one case cartoon character voice, that bookends the reading of the numbers. Particularly creepy is the use of a little girl's voice in one of them! For full effect, listen to these while driving late at night, especially away from the city lights. Try to image yourself listening to instructions while undercover.

Some of it is just bleeps and blurbs, sometimes mixed with the whining and roaring electromagnetic jamming devices, which attempt to block the transmissions. This stuff can sound like the "musique concrete" of early experimental electronic recording artists.

The booklet is amazingly detailed and comprehensive. Irdial have gone through great lengths to put this together and are to be comnended for it.

Clearly this is not for everybody, but people fascinated by espionage, and people with a taste for the quirky and bizarre will dig it. I can't say that I'm likely to play it very often, although it would be fun to sneak in a piece or two into the playlist at a party :)! One side benefit for me is that I am learning how to count in Romanian!
