Escape From Noise

Escape from Noise is a 1987 concept album by Negativland. It marked the band's first release on an established independent record label, SST Records. On this album, they continued to develop their experimental style. The group also incorporated elements of pop music with shorter tracks and more conventional melodies. "Christianity Is Stupid", a track featuring samples from the propaganda movie If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?, layered over a buzzing and droning hard rock groove, proved to be an enduring signature song. The band and the release gained widespread attention due to a press release falsely implying that murderer David Brom had listened to the song before killing his family members.
