Yep, that's right ... 34 tracks!

Andreas Ammer and FM Einheit with Blixa Bargeld, Phil Monton, Yvonne Ducksworth, Enzo Minarelli, Caspar Brotzman and John Peel.

Overall impression: me like, but not on a frequent basis. Radio Inferno is a radio play telling the story of Dante and Virgil's visit to hell. As you can see, most of the tracks are very short. There's German texts, samples and singing (many in an operatic style) backed with miscellaneous samples (a very obvious one from Slayer), bleeps, rattles, screams, choirs, beats, guitar, etc. Every now and then are updates on what is going on by John Peel (in English), delivered in an almost Monty Python tongue in cheek style. I like this cd, but like I said, it's not something I'll listen to frequently. I can only listen to so much German, not being able to understand any of it. If you're already familiar with and like FM Einheit's "Sensation Death" and/or Ammer and Einheit's "Deutsche Krieger", you'll probably like Radio Inferno as well.
