Negativeland - Escape from Noise

Stuart's featured album is Negativeland's 1987 experimental classic Escape from Noise. Plus kid's music, Glaswegian skronk and a jazz tribute to a Geordie football legend.

It's the Freak Zone so expect the unexpected. Unless of course you're expecting Glaswegian skronk, a jazz tribute to a Geordie football legend and kid's music by Moondog, Karl Orff and Dave Brubeck. As well as a light sprinkling of Neu, Yes and Slapp Happy. If that's case, expect the expected.

Plus Stuart's featured album is Negativeland's 1987 experimental musical collage classic Escape from Noise. Did it invent meme culture?
