The bilingual concept album plays on the double meaning of radio waves and radioactivity, combining melancholic synthesizer melodies with Geiger counter clicks, Morse code, radio dial sweeps and vocoder voices. It is the first album by the classic line-up of Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flür.
