I tend to use European shortwave transmissions. They just give an
immediate interest to a track, rather like adding pepper to a cooking
pot.
Maybe it's because it provides that essential human interest in
otherwise instrumental music?
For a recent track I fed the radio through an envelope-tracking resonant
filter, which sounded good - disguised the words quite well, so it was
just more of a random burbling texture.
When you do this sort of thing you start to really notice the inherent
rhythms in speech.
