    There seems to be a radio/TV commercial at the end of Remember The Future Part II (Nektar..)

    Just heard it yesterday: the song "Program" by Silver Apples has radio knob twirling through out.

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    That would be the US leg of the Animals tour you're thinking of. When performing Wish You Were Here itself on that tour, they had an actual transistor radio onstage, which I think Roger Waters would fiddle with for about a minute, before segueing into a tape of the radio tuning from the record. I've got a few different bootlegs from that tour, one of them you can hear a bit of Feels Like The First Time, another has a bit of Instant Kharma, still another has a radio advert for a movie called The Other Side Of Midnight.

    I think they also tried this on the European leg, but as I recall, the results were way less interesting.

    “NEW BODY FORM!”

    I was just reminded of Bernard Szajner’s Some Deaths Take Forever, which has radio dial spinning between tracks.

    What a great and under-appreciated album.

    It’s pretty cool, sort of Autobahn-era Kraftwerk meets Heldon with a touch of Zeuhl (Klaus Blasquiz and some other Magma personnel played on this).

    Haven’t heard any of his other discs, but he was quietly influential. Jean-Michel Jarre borrowed/stole his idea for the “laser harp” (which appears on the cover of Brute Reason), while Gary Numan stole his look. And he’s one of the few musicians I know that owned an RSF Kobol (I guess the other owners were probably French, too. Pretty sure Jarre had one as well).

    There are radio-like segues between most/all the songs on "Songs For the Deaf."

    Bill Laswell's first solo album, Basslines, has a few tunes where someone plays the radio as an instrument. Almost like early "scratching."

    Yes, there is a short hidden track between two songs on Habitat that features a radio being switched between channels that stops on an extended (but short_ fretless bass solo before tuning in to the next song.

    I don't think Jean Michel Jarre, stole it. On The concerts in China Bernard Szajner is credited for the concept of the laser harp.

    Seems like no one remembered the Aerosmith - Amazing, which contained the radio tuning bit as an outro of the song.

    My fave Butthole Surfers track along with "The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave"

    The intro to the Tubes live album "What do you want from Live?" starts with a radio changing stations (though it might be a TV). And Roger Waters "Radio KAOS" of course has a bit of dialog between a DJ and caller between each song (though it never changes stations).
