Blog of the Week - A Sound Awareness


A Sound Awareness is another fantastic blog that pays tribute to musical oddities as well as linking and reviewing other strange content in from the film and art world. Just to give an idea of what you might come across on this blog, I stumbled upon an old post reviewing an album called Tortura - Sounds of Pleasure and Pain, a 1965 recording of the sado-masochistic screams, yelps, and cackles of people being whipped. Even if this isn't your sort of thing, you'll appreciate the strangeness, taste, and diversity of this blog's regularly updated content as much as I have.

  1. Thanks for this.
    The blog is filled with interesting stuff and this "Tortura" album is a gem. Although before I got it I expected a wider array of ugly and more bizarre whimpering and wailing hehe. Good recordings nonetheless.

    Human animal can utter such odd noises we wouldn't imagine! Especially when whipped that hard across the arse like a sack of rice hehe :S
