Sun Blindness Music: New York in the 1960's, Volume 1

John Cale

Over an hour of punishing, hypnotic drones and overdriven organ recorded in 1960s New York. A raw document of the friction between classical theory and rock noise.

2001

A relentless, monolithic exploration of sound and frequency that borders on the religious.

Moments Worth Listening For
The twenty-minute mark of the title track where the organ overtones begin to create phantom melodies in the listener's ear.
The abrasive, percussive guitar scraping on Summer Heat that predates the most aggressive moments of White Light/White Heat.
The way The Second Fortress uses electronic feedback to create a sense of vast, airless architectural space.
