Genuinely could be any one of 5 for me here. GAH.

yeah but it probably comes down to Firebird vs. Visitation for me

the only filler is the last track

WTF @ 'Black Mass: An Electric Storm in Hell' being described as "filler".

It's between that and 'Love Without Sound' for me, almost certainly going with the former.

Toss up between My Game Of Loving and Your Hidden Dreams.

Probably going to go with My Game Of Loving because that giant orgasm in the middle has made for so many awkward DJ-ing moments.

Kenny Everett used to use so much of this as jingle bits.

I never knew where they came from for.. um.. decades!

Is it too obvious to vote for "Love Without Sound"? Because that's what I'm doing.

love without sound is prob the best "song" on this but I dunno I kind of want to vote for firebird or here come the fleas

one time I was playing firebird in my car and someone came in cuz I was giving them a ride and they were like "what is this hermans hermits bullshit"

Well, he's a must to avoid..

I dig the frenetic moogy cartoon-springy noises behind Here Come The Fleas and sometimes wonder if that and the "flea" thing is a deliberate reference to Perrey and Kingsley's Spanish Flea / One Note Samba, released 2 years earlier, but poss everyone in White Noise hated P+K, I dunno, I can certainly imagine Ms Derbyshire doing so

The first four tracks are all great, and in slightly differing ways, I find it really hard to pick a favourite.

Love w/out sound just ahead over The Visitation. Though I think of Love w/out Sound & My Game of Loving as a We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You inseparable single unit.

i can't not vote for "here come the fleas"

I understand Black Mass actually was literally filler, like approx 75% of the album was completed, but due to the laborious tinkering they were way over schedule so Island said "just hand the fucking thing over this weekend", thus they nervously spewed out the ungodly racket which closes out the LP. Said racket is getting my vote fwiw. I love every painstaking minute of this record, but I really live for the delightful ambush of sound that caps the side... Whirling dervish drums, screaming, and electronics, did anything else sound remotely along these lines at the time?

Voted "Firebird". I guess I'm a big Herman's Hermits fan!

Closest result yet to "the order they appear on the album"

I should know the lp much better than I do. I've had to buy it twice, the 2nd time to a much sonically upgraded cd, not sure when the earlier cd came from but it pales in comparison, or rather muds.

But I keep getting tracks cropping up ion the random play I always have my walkman on and having to take the player out of my pocket to check who it is. Pretty great electronic meets folk stuff in the main, I think United States of America's lp runs close transatlantic comparison.

I think there were a couple of follow up lps under the White Noise name during the 70s but I don't know how close to this original they come.
