I seem to recall a bit of radio tuning on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"
(the album), although I can't exactly remember where.

Speaking of Radiotronics and having been a Shortwave Radio listener
and Ham Radio Operator for 30+ yrs, um.., I like it. I remember talking
about Radiotronics to either Peter or Tim after a show, but my memory
will not rewind and play back the details for me. Some really spacy
noises can be heard out on the radio bands. A dash of some morse code,
the essence of fading, and a smidgeon of distortion all provides for some
coolo sounds. Adrian Belew had some wacky stuff on Desire Caught by
the Tail. There were some sections where I thought he certainly recorded
sounds from the Short Wave or was influenced enough to create his own
sounds. I mean, come on, what sound couldn't Adrian make? If he he wanted
to play a fart through his guitar, excuse my language, I'm sure he wouldn't
have any problems at all.

One new thread to start up: what songs have had sounds coming from a
radio? I'm sure some of you have heard Ten Years After 'Baby Won't You
Let Me' from A Space In Time. At the beginning you can hear what sounds like
a  radio tuning until it passes this song, then it goes right back to the
song. Good stuff. Any others?
