the more i listen to these, the lonelier the life of a spy seems.

just random info transmitting 24hrs a day, in case you get a chance to hear it and shit...while yr just trying to survive....damn.

plus everything sounds like its recorded on lo-fi thru a 202.

Tight shit... creepy, yet very interesting. It's weird how some of the recordings have some crazy sounding music in them. Like the music is a coded message or something.

actually most of them aren't soviet, and like the majority of number stations come from nato countries.

fucking weird man. Sounds like someone trying to make a beat with the 202 and a speak and spell.
Be cool to think that these aern't transmissions, instead they are music tracks that someone made when they got bored with espionage. Figured out how to make beats with the ships computers.
Im listening to it as i type, its fucking creepy.
15728 15728 15728 wtf?
