Extra Info: Fantastic Album !! Original Dutch 1st Pressing on the RIM Island label ...wow ..MINTY .. truly amazing electronic experimental album !!

~~ Without doubt one of the most advanced, daring and totally unique albums ever made. So far ahead in terms of technology and content, this very rare Island album still sounds advanced even today – some 40 years after issue. This is not a typical Island record: a label well known for progressive music but this album went far beyond ‘progressive’. For the curious who bought this one around issue time, well they must have wondered what they had let themselves in for. Music at this time consisted mostly of pop and blues-based rock, the beginning of the guitar-keyboard progressive era. The White Noise were a little different to say the least: experimental electronic mayhem, full-throttle stereo pyrotechnics with use of sounds, as the cover states: that have never been heard before by humans. This record blends vocals, instrumentalists and complex electronic sound into a collage of entertainment. Some gentle moments too but some truly mind-warping mayhem that leave the senses reeling. At times tripping into the avant garde arena, not dissimilar to later pioneering electronic exponents Throbbing Gristle. Side one includes very convincing frenzied orgasmic sounds juxaposing between speakers, very ahead of its time – this must have caused many a raised eyebrow for the unsuspecting listener way back. The title song lives up to its name with manic electronic screamed vocals and intensive percussion that will make the hair on the neck stand up – truly scary stuff, this is not a record for the faint hearted or regular pop music fan. Also female weeping sounds are used which are truly unnerving with an unsettling effect to the senses. This is real groundbreaking experimentalism, more the type of music heard on small independent labels not a major like Island. So who were the White Noise? Well put simply, they featured members of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the people brought very much to the attention of Britain in the 60s and beyond with the theme music for ‘Dr Who’ – quite possibly the most famous and best TV theme ever – a classic piece that still sounds as brilliant now as it did then. They specialised in sound effects for television and radio themes. This a massively difficult record just to find on the original pink label. This vintage record is a roller-coaster ride of quiet passages and extreme sound. If this was played on less than worthy equipment or treated with less than due respect – and many would have been – this complex record would have been written-off very quickly. Even today’s modern equipment get a full workout from this record and to enjoy this one to maximum effect, play as loudly as possible or on a pair of quality speakers or headphones. Few copies will ever play perfectly with heavy crackle and distortion being rife on so many. For those, the vast majority I would think, who did not experience The White Noise back in the late 60s, this is a fine chance to own what is a rare early copy. It will please many collectors but not quite the perfectionists who can wait for the near impossible.
