while on the topic of sickening music, john zorn's 'kristallnacht' (from
the same-named cd) is comprised exclusively of the sound of windows
breaking.  it's the only cd i know of that has a notice saying that the
song can induce fits of sickness or seizures & that you shouldn't play
it too loud.  apparently it's because of the high-pitched breaking
sound.

in the facts, the song is borderline unlistenable (which i guess is the
point considering the theme).
