There is a track on a recent Craig Armstrong album, entitled 'Waltz' that sounds like a 'numbers' station. Over the lacrymose music a female german mechanical-sounding voice repeats letters and grammatical signs and phrases. There are subtle changes in her tone as the music rises and falls, sometimes sounding desperate. At one peak of musical intensity she stumbles, then breaks out of her pattern and sings/cries 'I Miss You!' before returning back to her familiar pattern as the music dies down again. I found myself crying as I listened to it. When I analysed my emotional response I realised that she sounded trapped into her mechanical role by grief from a lost relationship. Then I cried again.
