Einstürzende Neubauten – Halber Mensch
Break into the Nakamatsu Ironworks Ruins with Einsturzende Neubauten in the classic music film “Halber Mensch.” Neubauten has been a gateway band for innumerable noise artists and fans, with this legendary VHS being a huge touchstone.

K2 “Anybody Can’t Catch Up With This”
Ten inches of rusted metal junks eclipse all light with K2 “Anybody Can’t Catch Up With This” on Ant Zen. The material on this record is based on the classic album “The Rust,” so we compare both releases and discuss why 10″s are such a great format for noise. Additionally, Tara teaches us about the actual mountain K2.

Bad Sector – Polonoid (with Kyle Wright)
Kyle Wright (Diophantine Discs/Dysthymia) joins us for a conversation on the album he always tests a new stereo with—Bad Sector “Polonoid.” While we were all familiar with Bad Sector, this album was new to us and we can’t thank Kyle enough for bringing it to the table. We careen to the cosmos, burrow into broken computer technology, and immerse ourselves in this unique beast from the late 90s.

Maeror Tri – Language of Flames and Sound
As we’ve discussed many Drone Records 7″s on Seven Inch Sunday, we thought it’d be a good time to cover the label’s flagship band Maeror Tri and their “Language of Flames and Sound” CD on Old Europa Cafe. Your brain waves may wash ashore on new lands, but the unfamiliar surroundings will prove rewarding. Blur the hemispheres.
