Atrax Morgue – Death-Orgasm Connector
The annual Atrax Morgue episode has arrived. This year, we place a bag over our heads with “Death-Orgasm Connector.” A CD from 2003, this album distills the greatness of Atrax Morgue into 10 of his most potent tracks. It’s never a bad time to listen to Atrax Morgue, but the end of October is truly the perfect atmosphere for “Death-Orgasm Connector. The game is closed. Marco Corbelli forever.
For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon we each chose an Italian horror movie to dissect, as is our Atrax episode tradition. This segment is over 30 minutes.

The Last House on Dead End Street (with Adam Higgins of Vombis)
October screamed for an episode on a soundtrack and a movie, and we landed on the hate-filled nihilism of “The Last House on Dead End Street.” In the first part of the episode, we talk to Adam Higgins who released the soundtrack on LP. He tells us how the record came together and how he figured out where all the tracks came from. After he heads back to work, we get into the movie itself. It is very appropriate listening and watching for the darkest month.
For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss other favorite soundtracks.

Audio Drudge #6
Today we go through issue #6 of “Audio Drudge” from 1995. Each of us focused on one interview — Mike took Namanax, Tara took Smell & Quim, and Greh took Daniel Menche — and report that our findings. We then go over the issues as a whole, including the ads and the many great reviews. This is a style of episode we plan to continue…let us know any zines you’d like us to go through. Print media forever.
For the 30 minute ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we go over recent listening, some of which spring other discussions.

Synth Clean and Repair
Mike and Tara were having massive problems with their Sequential Circuits Six Trak synth. Greh came over to repair it and record an episode while doing it. Lo and behold, when Greh arrived, the synth decided to start working again. Still, Greh takes us through opening and cleaning the Six Trak and gives plenty of advice on how to maintain a synth. It’s another episode in the vein of “Studio Reorganization.”
