Drew talks about a lost album of the Poems, his first band with Rose. In addition, he discusses how warm Sleazy and Balance were and the many never-realized projects they had in the early days.

It was a honor to speak with Kristian Olsson to have a very deep discussion on not only his history, but his thoughts and philosophy on the underground.

In next week’s episode, we get into Alfarmania and so much more. These episodes are highly important history lessons and ones that are not to be missed. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on our patreon, Kristian talks about Kommando RJF and the importance of Roger Karmanik. This 20 minute segment immediately follows the Blood ov Thee Christ story on the patreon feed.

Mike and Tara desperately needed to re-organize their studio, so why not make an episode out of it?

Let this be an inspiration to get your studio in gear for a noise summer. For the ExtraNoisextra segment, instead of extra audio, we made a video of the before, middle and after of the reorganization day. Head to the patreon to see what the Connellys accomplished.

With the full NWN/Hospital Japan Fest line up announced, we go all in on Thirdorgan, the cyborg of night two. “Jinzoningen” is Thirdorgan’s 1998 LP on Harbinger Sound. We answer the questions posed in the track titles. We prepare for the dystopian future where Hakaider and Loch Ness Monster will lead us to new lands. Thirdorgan is the harshest of them all, and this LP showcases exactly why. Do you believe? For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon, Mike discusses touring with Steve Underwood, the man behind Harbinger Sound. In addition, Tara talks about Steve almost taking out her eye with a 7” spindle.

Ron Morelli (L.I.E.S. Records ) joins us today to discuss a different branch of experimental electronics. Ron’s ambient albums are Noisextra favorites. We dig into those, as well as his history in techno, his L.I.E.S. Records label, and his fantastic new album “Heart Stopper.” Ron brings a unique perspective to the underground and it was a blast hanging out and having this discussion.

Continuing with our look at classic albums of the past, we enter a world that is very close to Greh’s heart. Haus Arafna’s “Children of God” is a unique record in their own lane of industrial. Self-called “angst pop,” we get into the structured noise of this long running German project. Tune in for some electronic terrorism. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss the Galakthorrö label and why it is a standout among labels of a similar ilk.
