Various Artists, “World War I Fighter Planes In Action” (Riverside, 1961)
Not vintage cylinder recordings from the field (though how awesome would that be?!) but a clean, modern document of collector-dudes flying these magnificent machines around a private airfield. This is the real original noise; Jesus and Mary Chain are mere bubblegum popsters by comparison. Throbbing Gristle? Wimps. And if that isn’t enough, there are odd, very long passages where the planes are almost inaudible that seem to anticipate ambient Eno.
