Easy Listening for Iron Youth: The Best of NON is a 1991 compilation album of Boyd Rice's NON recordings. It is a "best of" collection from 1975–1991.
It was released by Mute Records (UK) on CD and an ultra-limited LP (without tracks 14–16).
Boyd Rice wrote all tracks except "Predator/Prey" (by Rice and Coil) and "Cleanliness And Order" (by Rice and Daniel Miller). Percussion was provided by Michael Moynihan, Tony Wakeford, Douglas P., and Rose McDowall on "Conflagration", "Scorched Earth", and "Sunset".
Vlad the Impaler is pictured on the front cover feasting among his victims.
"History proves that man is a beast of prey. The beast of prey conquers countries, founds great realms by subjugation of the other subjugators, forms states and organizes civilizations in order to enjoy his booty in peace... Attack and defence, suffering and struggle, victory and defeat, domination and servitude, all sealed with blood; this is the entire history of the human race..." — Richard Wagner
"There is a demon in man that should be exercised, not exorcised" — Anton Szandor LaVey
"The sounds that issue forth from the recordings of Boyd Rice (a.k.a. NON) have been known to cause anxiety attacks and even physical illness in the faint of heart and weak of mind. The bold and adventurous few however, will find this music to be pure balm. This swirling vortex of sound is mood music, pure and simple; like some soundtrack to a frenzied blood-letting at the foot of the mongol steppes. There is no better tonic I know for today's true connoisseurs of that stimulating region that exists one step beyond good and evil."— Adam Parfrey, editor of Apocalypse Culture
