When Young Terrorists Chase the Sun by Gerling

When Young Terrorists Chase the Sun, the second album from Australian trio Gerling, was set for release on 16 September 2001, and then the September 11 attacks forced a delay and, in the UK and Japan, a new name: Headzcleaner. It's a heady, genre-scrambling record where electronica and alternative rock bump into each other on the dance floor, with Darren Cross on guitar and vocals, Burke Reid on guitar and vocals, and Presser, the drummer born Paul Towner, pounding away.

Cross later said the band didn't worry about how any of it would work on stage; they wanted an album of songs that fit together, and he called it ambitious and said he had no regrets. "Dust Me Selecta" was the single that cracked the Australian top 50, the album got to number 41, and Gerling and Magoo were nominated for Producer of the Year at the ARIA Music Awards of 2002.
