Unauthorized But Real

Convincing_People

My fellow reviewer is mistaken as to the contents of this set, but is, sadly, spot on with its legal status. This material, while far from the best of Psychic TV, deserves some kind of official release. Let us hope that someone, sometime, might provide us all with this... In the mean time, if the samples intrigue you, look for a used copy or just download it somewhere else.

This is not Psychic TV

metatron

I found out after downloading all of the albums on invisible records are unauthorized and/or fake. Genesis P-Orridge is fighting these recordings. Most tracks are just so-so house tracks with samples from splinter test pasted on top, and not PTV. Go to Genesisp-orridge.com to find out more. I checked this out after listening to one of these albums and something did not sound right. Don't download these I wish I could get my downloads back.

They Say All Music Guide

Origin of the Species, Vol. 3 is the final installment in a three-compilation set that was put together to show the progression of acid house techno and Psychic TV’s role in it. Although few would have pegged bandleader Genesis P-Orridge as a fan of this genre, listening to any of these discs shows exactly why Psychic TV is the perfect band to have latched onto acid house. Creating psychedelic, repetitive, and throbbing techno music is something that should come easy to a musician who can attribute all those descriptions to the experimental industrial music he was pioneering in the ’70s and early ’80s. This particular volume is the most modern of the three, displaying a more rhythmic and dance-friendly vibe than anything else in this series. Although the typically creepy and overbearing moments are present, P-Orridge tempers them with an up-tempo drive that overcomes his scarier tendencies. Plus, his years of experience make the intense moments fit seamlessly into the overall album, something that he hasn’t always been able to pull off. Fans of the industrial side of Psychic TV may want to avoid this, but more adventurous listeners should find this to be a hypnotic ride through the mind of a musical pioneer. – Bradley Torreano
