The dystopian twin to My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
-
We Say...
Their debut album for Rough Trade in 1981 after Throbbing Gristle's mission was terminated, this record marries Cosey's trademark woozy cornet to Chris Carter's sleek sequencing, and the result is entrancing and unsettling in equal measure, blowing hot and cool past both industrial bombast and synth-pop tinsel. Martin feels that this ought to be enshrined in music history as one of the first proper "techno" records. The brilliantly clipped "found" vocals (an '80s-style tic that went limp in lesser hands) on "Put Yourself in Los Angeles" will nag at you like a repressed memory, and it is moves like these that make this record a kind of dystopian twin to Byrne/Eno circa My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Truly an underrated gem.

They Say...
Chris and Cosey's first album finds the duo still working through the experimental synth-pop of later Throbbing Gristle material. Found sounds and environment-type voices are the only connection to average notions of songwriting, with the machine rhythms and bleak industrial air taking over most of the proceedings.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
