Radio Berlin
built 273 days ago
Any band can trot out a clone of Joy Division and Psychedelic Furs tunes, but Radio Berlin’s backbone sets Glass apart. Unwilling to lie down and choke in its own tears, Glass opts for gloom rather than mope. It’s a subtle, but important distinction. Radio Berlin isn’t heartbroken or depressed as much as just plain creepy and out of place during daylight hours. Imposing drums – think of The Cure’s darkest moments – don’t just provide a beat for keyboards that could be played at a really, really cool wake and Duckworth’s dying-man delivery, but give “D.E.S.” structure and an ominous tone. “Knives” takes distorted but faraway guitar sounds that crash against Lyndsay Sung’s desensitized, detached keyboards with a primal urgency.

Throw away the plastic nightclub fangs, dead-rockers: Radio Berlin gives the genre the fangs it’s missed since the demise of greats like Bauhaus and Joy Division. Glass is everything the genre was supposed to be: dark, moody and, most of all, sinister and vaguely threatening.

Between 1946 and 1993 the Berlin-based radio station RIAS made broadcasting history in Germany. A legendary voice in German radio, RIAS – originally DIAS (Wire Broadcasting in the American Sector) – first came on air 60 years ago on 7 February 1946. RIAS was incorporated into DeutschlandRadio in 1994.

Radio made its debut in Germany on October 29, 1923, and Berlin was where it took place. Just over a year later the first All-German Radio Exhibition opened its doors in the "Funkhalle", a hall measuring 7.030 square meters in July 1924, and at a cost of 1.9 million Reichsmarks. The site chosen for it was between Kaiserdamm and the Avus highway.
