SEARCH AND DISCIPLINE: throbbing gristle, coum transmissions, psychic tv et all.

carter's 'mondo beat' is good too.

i have no plans to see ptv. every time i sa them back in the day they were nothing short of a total load of old toss.

See all the usual declaimers.

That was just a dumb mistake, but I like it.

So anyway there's a generic PTV beginning at the start of the CD, with one of those JFK samples. Then you get the actual dedication, followed by "Beltane," which is mostly (surprisingly good) "tribal" sounding drumming, with some synthesizer sputterings.

"Beltane/Your Body/Twisted/Only Human" along with "Voodoo Acid" are the main reasons to want this, so far. Weird though even on "Depraved," this guitar solo is very classic rock, and if Genesis would shut up on this one it would be better. But on those first four songs, there are interesting musical things going on, perhaps entirely irrelevant to Genesis, but even he carries his own weight more than he usually does.

(Oh please, Genesis, no. This part didn't need to be added in.)
(Also left off a song I like with some very good cheesy LSD sounds.)

she isn't that hot. nor is her personality all that great, either.

Thank you HTML syntax checker.

I honestly haven't heard "Godstar" (though people have told me that's one worth searching for). I came quite close to picking up Live in Thee East Village at the same time I found Force the Hand..., but figured I should start with the one before I go on some sort've spree.

Each successive COIL disc i've managed to put my hand to, meanwhile, has been better than the last. That's probably why I was let down by PTV (I was hoping for a similarly revelatory experience). It's so rare nowadays for me to discover an artist with a huge back cataglog that I hand't appreciated before. Both COIL and PTV have more releases that you can shake a stick at, it seems.

I haven't heard that much Coil, but I can definitely believe their output is superior to Psychic TV's (and even good). Kind of distant from where my taste has drifted, but I'd still like to hear more Coil eventually. The only one I have is Love's Secret Domain, which I mostly like, though not the vocals as much as everything else.

I get this message: Your file has expired.
Unfortunately your file has expired. A link is valid for 7 days or 25 downloads, whichever occurs first. Once the link expires, the file is automatically deleted and cannot be recovered.

On Love's Secret Domain (which I don't, as yet, own), I've only really heard the title track (by way of a cassette-only Wax Trax sampler at the dawn of the 90's). I have Scatology, Horse Rotorvator (which I picked up on the strength of the raves of "scariest album ever" on ILM) and Unnatural History II (which features the infamous Hellraiser tracks....originally intended to serve as the film's score, but turned down as they were "too scary"). I've downloaded stuff from here and there. Their official website, Threshold House, promises to stock more of their stuff soon, but you can download snippets of their music on this site: http://www.brainwashed.com/coil/

"Baby, do you have a light? What's it like in Ohio?"

i know weatherall released on p-orridge track under the name PT001 on a sabres of paradise compilation.

now i run across this on nina walsh's sabrettes label.

http://music.hyperreal.org/flightpath/label/sabrettes/images/sr025.jpg

this is sabrettes 025 : POD's "gestator EP". there is another EP by POD, called "PODville", and a few tracks compiled on a sabrettes compilation ("mollusk" and "geodesic")

discogs.com claims this POD is kenny larkin, but i am like "uhuhnoway" because the whole deal is absolutely undetroitish, totally british in attitude.

so my question is: is anybody familiar enough with genesis' pierced cock to make a positive ID based on that label?

Just seen a new edition of Wreckers of Civilisation listed on Amazon for August. Anybody know anything about that?
Have been hoping that Cosey's memoir might prompt a new edition.

there was supposed to be a repress in nov 2015 that amazon took my money for and eventually refunded. so i am skeptical. but would be awesome if it happened.

Appears to be legit, probably a straight reprint with no new material:

Shame about the no new material if that's true. I thought there had been so9me significant events since it was originally published, band reforming shortly, sleazy dying, back catalogue being remastered etc.
But have regretted not having got it before.

Having read Cosey's book, the criticism that Wreckers was overly Gencentric seems valid.

possibly, but I am still gonna snap this up if it finally becomes available again, thanks for the update.
