Noise in Your Head explained
Noise in Your Head is a four-CD and one-DVD compilation box set by The Humans, fronted by the British singer Toyah Willcox, credited to Toyah & The Humans. It was released in July 2020 by Edsel Records, and consists of the band's three studio albums: We Are the Humans (2009), Sugar Rush (2011) and Strange Tales (2014) with bonus material, a CD with a live concert recorded at the Scala in London in 2010, and a DVD with a live concert recorded at Trading Boundaries near Fletching, East Sussex in 2015[1] as well as bonus music videos.
Toyah announced the release of the box set via YouTube on 13 June 2020.[2] The set is dedicated to The Humans member Bill Rieflin, who died earlier in 2020,[3] and includes a previously unreleased 7-minute version of the King Crimson classic "21st Century Schizoid Man", one of Rieflin's last recordings.[4] [5] The song was released as a digital single, and Live at Trading Boundaries was released as a separate live album in 2021.[6]
