There may be a case to link screen images of violence and graphic sex with a general social malaise but I'm not comfortable about endorsing a point of view expressed by a notorious serial killer and an American preacher.
Chemical Waves is a vehicle for Italy's Marco Cattani. Murders TV is a dark wave electronica soundtrack that incorporates samples from two spoken word sources: a preacher's sermon and the last interview given by Ted Bundy prior to his execution.
The track is mixed by Nicola Di Già who also plays guitar.
It's probably a coincidence, but it has the kind of ominous beats of the New Order's Murder.
The 'B sides' are a short instrumental called A Soundless Echo which is described as "a trip inside the killer brain" and a remix of the title track by The Mind Area vs Human Decay.

I doubt that Cattani believes that the opinions of a sadistic sociopath support the case against the media so using Bundy's words only has a sick novelty value.
The fact that the killer's comments about 'obscenities' that come into out homes via the TV and the Internet are endorsed by a preacher only adds to the grim irony.
Any musical merits are clouded behind the 'coming evil' message underlying these three tracks which is at best confused and, at worst, crass and tasteless.
