What is "radio silence"

n. 1 A status maintained where all fixed or mobile radio stations in an area stop transmitting (sometimes limited to certain frequency bands). 2 The period of time during which this status exists. 3 (cx figurative English) A period of time during which nothing is heard from a person or organization.

Radio Silence is an album by Boris Grebenshikov, leader of the Russian group Aquarium. The album was recorded in 1989 in studios in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, mostly with Western musicians, and produced by David A. Stewart. It was hailed as the first contract of a Russian (then, Soviet) rock musician with a Western label.

Having by then achieved the status of the most prominent rock musician in Russia, Boris had just recently been permitted to travel abroad (thanks to Perestroika). On most tracks, only Alexander Titov (bass) is of the then-current Russian Aquarium band, the rest being Western musicians (with the exception of Death of King Arthur where many Aquarium musicians can be heard). It was originally planned that the album would have half songs in Russian and half in English, but in the final album there are only two Russian songs on the B side.

Radio Silence is the first full-length album by the Toronto-based new wave band Blue Peter. Released in 1980, it contained the moderately successful single "Video Verite", as well as the eponymous single "Radio Silence", known for its simple "dying keyboard" riff. The album ranked 60th in CFNY's Top 80 Albums of 1980.

Radio Silence is a Jamiroquai's side project headed by Matt Johnson (keyboards), Rob Harris (guitar) and Paul Turner (bass). Not as Jamiroquai, they started to write music in hotel rooms during the Dynamite tour and once the tour finished they looked for a studio and a drummer with the purpose of doing some recording. Over the years, the resulting tracks become songs and got in various guest singers including Vanessa Haynes from Incognito. The album Travelogue was finally released on 18 April 2011 via iTunes and other digital formats.
