The Washington Post profiles Akin Fernanadez, the guy behind the mysterious Conet Project box set of shortwave numbers stations that’s all the rage with the kids these days – especially now that it’s back in print after the Wilco settlement. As I recall, I’m #180-something on Aquarius Records‘ big list of Conet purchasers but it’s “extra cool” because I picked it up at Terrastock II in San Francisco.
mp3s of all four discs are available directly from Irdial, along with mp3s of everything Irdial has released (shout outs for Stephen McGreevy’s Electric Enigma VLF recordings also). Additionally, Conet-heads should check out Black Cat System’s The Numbers Racket CD-ROM.
