Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of Red Death as done by Thrice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXWymj3yQ7Y


One for Edgar Allan Poe, supposed to be more of a set of readings than music but it features Marianne Faithfull, Iggy Pop, Diamanda Galás, Gavin Friday, Jeff Buckley, Dr. John and Deborah Harry. Another amazing lineup.

I had this but don't remember anything about it except for Dr. John's reading of Berenice. Mr. Bungle quoted a few lines of Berenice in Carry Stress in the Jaw. They make up the bulk of the lyrics.

doesn't Numan quote PKD and Ballard rather extensively? "Flow my tears the policeman said" etc.

Forgot to mention Frank Black's brilliant Bradbury tribute "The Cult Of Ray".

Stereo Sanctity by Sonic Youth is basically just random bits of VALIS by Philip K Dick

Sonic Youth also references William Gibson stuff in several songs
