Blake Sound Bites: Jerusalem by Test Dept
This audio-only podcast explores the 1990 recording of "Jerusalem" by the industrial band Test Dept

In 1990, as the Poll Tax led to violent protests against Margaret Thatcher’s government, the industrial group Test Dept with the Scottish Orchestra recorded one of the most virulent and political versions of the Parry hymn, Jerusalem.

This podcast was first recorded in 2010.
