Psychic TV - S&D

shame they didn't add the 12" that came with the original release. "catalan" from that features one of the best uses of the chapman stick bass ever recorded. maybe they stuck it on the bonus cd?

they did, along with the superb "The Full Pack" and other stuff, CD-R though...

limited to 320 copies, fuck you Angry Love Productions

"The Orchids" might be my favourite song, at least sometimes.

otm

"Catalan" features Jordi Vals right?

Jordi Vals is one of my favorite peripheral Psychic TV figures -- he made an entire LP out of two attack dog samples he recorded for "The Full Pack"

"Catalan" features Jordi Vals right?

yes, it does.i have that lp of the attack dog samples. i don't think i veer made it all the way through.

....ever made it....

Best PTV album by a country mile. Love that bit with the Holophonics where if you listen on headphones in the dark it sounds as if you're being buried alive.

i think i'd have to toss a coin to decide whether this or "force the hand..." was better. it also has some holophonic delights on it too.

Fuck me this is amazing!

I'm saddened that no one seems to wanna talk about this.

kinda lost interest in ptv around 1988 tbh

seeing them this weekend

"Dreams Less Sweet" was an important album to me when I was 16/17. I didn't know anything about them, I got a cassette copy of it from a friend, and it wasn't like any other music I listened to at the time. This was right when I had gotten my driver's license, and I liked to drive around country roads at night with that tape on, imagining some kind of pagan horrors in the cornfields.

really don't like this trend of selling masters to classic 80's albums:

Genesis and Paula cameo on MTV Buzz, 1990.

thanks!

still pissed about those masters above, wtf

Their contributions pop up periodically until the end of that clip, incidentally.

I'm more amazed than outraged to see masters being sold on ebay. How did they end up in the hands of someone who would sell them their?

I know, right? I mean, I guess if you have a high-quality backed up digital transfer you could live without it, but still!

There are only twenty-three words.

Groupthink and Other Painful Reflections on ​Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth

that was an interesting read. the whole dark magick neofolk post industrial diaspora seems to be populated with the most shady motherfuckers

I was sort of relieved that David Tibet got shot of that scene sharpish since I see him round town quite often and I'd rather it stay an "oh look there goes David Tibet" thing than a there goes that abusive cunt thing

terribly written article but interesting repository of info about how much of a twat ol' gen is

Yeah it wasn't well written at all, I guess you have to read the long list of references to find out what was actually supposed to have happened which I will try to do soonish

Sorry that was a bit flippant, the stuff from Cosey was bad enough, just a lot of it was a bit vague. I don't have anything invested in Psychic TV or TOPY so I should probably stfu til I read it properly

Monte Cazazza has passed RIP

RIP to an excellent provocateur who never seemed to lose himself in mean-spiritedness or questionable ideology like some of his contemporaries
