They Say...
Five years of Psychic TV (1987-1992) are examined in this two-CD sampler packaged in Psychic TV's trademark exploitation of the power of the vulgar image. Origin of the Species is the first of a three-part series chronicling the group. Ten of the 21 tracks are previously unreleased. "Infinite Beat" and succeeding tracks identify Psychic TV as primogenitors of electronica, creative sampling, and the club mix while flirting with psychological principles of mind control. Such is the typical combination of outré and superficially commercial material that is the Psychic TV fare and guaranteed to maintain their cult following. It is certainly no understatement to say that without this group's envelope-pushing fusion of machines and rock instrumentation you could never have gotten to the now thoroughly explored realms of acid-house and techno. A 30-page, full-color booklet details each track with text from the mind of founding member, Genesis P-Orridge (also of pre-industrial noise experimenters Throbbing Gristle). Allowing full immersion of this suggestive, cryptic, neo-psychedelic beat music is truly a mind altering experience. A couple hours after partaking of these doses, one can be assured that Psychic TV aspired, and often succeeded at employing guitars, drums, keyboards and sequenced sounds re-creating an expansive, hallucinogenic, paradigm-challenging drug experience. That you can dance to.
