Number 2, as the explosive start to our journey gives way to something slightly more mellow. Next is The Black Angel's Death Song, an urban-industrial wash of poetry and philosophy from The Velvet Underground's debut album. Dark and atmospheric, but with a peaceful catharsis too, it is made all the more interesting by John Cale's use of the Electric Viola, and by Lou Reed's rolling yet jagged delivery that is reminiscent of Bob Dylan. The highlight of their output for me, definitely worth your time.

Spoiler for Number 2:
