Episode #12 - The Stranger

1. Song: Fifteen Minutes to Fairvale , Artist: Forcefedglass , Album: Songs of the Dead II: Idle Hands (And Here My Troubles Began)

  • Third installment of the New York Noise series focuses on early electronica/minimal synth stuff (think influences on today's darkwave bands, i.e. The Knife). Not sure where'd I'd rank this in terms of the other entries in the series, but probably in a tie for first with New York Noise, Vol. 1. Also features James Blood Ulmer, Martin Rev (Suicide), and Boris Policeband, among others.

8. Song: Jeepers Creepers , Artist: Billie Holliday , Album: Billie Holiday: The Legacy Box 1933-1958 (Columbia)

6. Song: Track 01 , Artist: Gerritt , Album: Space Level Blaze (Misanthropic Agenda)

  • All six tracks on Space Level Blaze are untitled. Excellent use of stereo panning on this track - and throughout the rest of the album - makes this sound like an amped-up version of Neu!'s "Super 16" (specifically those dinosaur growls in the background). Gerritt [Wittmer] has collaborated with Ginnungagap (Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))) and Tim Wyskida of Khanate), Axolotl, D. Yellow Swans, and LHD, as well as helping on production of Yellow Swans' psych-noise splatterfest Psychic Secession.
