The album Radio is the ninth album by the German-speaking a cappella group Wise Guys . It was released on May 5th, 2006 and was the Cologne band's most successful release to date. Like many others, it was produced by Uwe Baltrusch, but some recordings were also made during a studio session in England.

background

The album brought the group to number three in the German album charts, the best result of their career to date. They are especially proud of it because they achieved this result without any marketing campaigns or media coverage, the band said. Musically, the album contains the usual wide range of styles, from emotional ballads to funny songs, everything is on the record. It is also a special feature because its structure is based on a radio broadcast. For this reason the song sequence is interrupted by a total of six short radio jingles .

The CD contains, among other things, the title Ruf noch mal an '06 , which is a new recording of the song of the same name from the album Alles im grünbereich . Sonja Wilts from LaLeLu sings a duet with Eddi Hüneke for the song Das Strangeness Wesen , while Mad World is a cover version of the title of the same name by Roland Orzabal . There are now video clips for the titles Radio and Buddy Biber on the band's website. As a hidden track there is the live recording of Kein Ohrwurm on the album, which is a corruption of their song Ohrwurm from the previous album.
