"The John Cage realization, 1956 ‘Radio Music’ scored for 1 to 8 radios, is
an american radiophonic soundscape. I believe Perkins limited his sound
material to 1950s radio shows archive recordings and records being aired at
the time, so this is a portrait of that era as well."

I don't think the above description is accurate. I hear Beatles and Moody
Blues songs and more recent material. It sounds like radios are being used,
not "archive recordings."
