Biological Radio is the third album by the British band Dreadzone, released in 1997 by Virgin Records. Although less successful than its predecessor, Biological Radio represents a mellowing of style, none of the tracks being as energetic as, say "Little Britain". The track "Dream within a Dream" was included in "The Saint" soundtrack and is also present during the movie itself.

A synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals. Synthesizers typically create sounds by generating waveforms, through methods including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis and frequency modulation synthesis. These sounds may be altered by components such as filters, which cut or boost frequencies; envelopes, which control articulation, or how notes begin and end; and low-frequency oscillators, which modulate parameters such as pitch, volume, or filter characteristics affecting timbre. Synthesizers are typically played with keyboards or controlled by sequencers, software or other instruments, and may be synchronized to other equipment via MIDI.
