Death In June · But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter?
† Liner note
Douglas Pearce built Death In June out of the wreckage of his post-punk band Crisis, trading amplifiers for acoustic guitars and helping invent neofolk, along with a great deal of deliberate controversy.

Jerusalem
Simon Finn · Pass the Distance
† Liner note
Simon Finn's 'Pass the Distance' vanished on release in 1970 and might have stayed lost if David Tibet of Current 93 hadn't spent years championing and reissuing it. Fitting company for the afternoon.

Broadcast · Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age
† Liner note
Broadcast's collaboration with Julian House of the Ghost Box label, and among the last records singer Trish Keenan released before her death in 2011. Hauntology in the most literal sense.

5-Methoxy-N, N-Dimethyltryptamine: (5-MeO-DMT)
Coil · Time Machines
† Liner note
From Coil's 'Time Machines', an album of long drones each titled after a psychoactive compound and built, only half in jest, as a machine for leaving your body.
20:45
Jeremy
Pearl Jam · Ten
† Liner note
Pearl Jam wrote 'Jeremy' from a real newspaper story about a student who shot himself in front of his class. Its 1992 video was censored so heavily by MTV that the ending had to be left to the imagination.
21:49
Liege of Inveracity
Suffocation · Effigy of the Forgotten
† Liner note
The opening salvo of Suffocation's 1991 debut 'Effigy of the Forgotten', one of the records that codified New York death metal and more or less invented the breakdown that slam bands have lived on ever since.
21:55
The IVth Crusade
Bolt Thrower · The IVth Crusade
† Liner note
Bolt Thrower traded the Warhammer imagery of their earliest records for real medieval history here in 1992. The Coventry band were death metal's great chroniclers of war.
