Seeing that group after reading Cosey's book def doesn't paint a great picture of GPO. ON the other hand I know a whole slew of people, ny music scene people who were very much in GPO's orbit and looked towards him as a real mentor, so who am I to say. Cosey's book was pretty damning though.

I think she had to hold back on some stuff that was worse than anything that was revealed in the book. Fred's tales are pretty horrific too.
i do find it hard to listen to a lot of stuff Gen was involved with and really can't ever imagine listening to Persuasion again without feeling extremely uncomfortable. But, early PTV is pretty totemic for me so I'm still conflicted.

Speaking of early Goa party music, Finnish DJ Lupu has a couple mixes online of mid-to-late 80s-early 90s tracks.

The Persuader - Sun Position (2013)
This is nice, very much his sound though I've not heard anything from this time before

song really does what it says on the tin, right? every time you think "wow that's a really shitty sample" dj who rolls up with an even shittier one
if he can stretch that bs to 7.5 mins should be easy for someone to do a similar job on zomby's "need ur lovin", still surprised nobody has done yet done a bootleg edit of that one, would think it would be a no brainer in our current era

Italo House project of Bini/Perniola (AKA Fathers Of Sound) with an uncredited Sharon May Linn performance on vocals. 'Sharon S' was apparently a blink to Robin S., very popular back then.
Apparently so! Although I am slightly confused how Sharon is uncredited when the record is in her name
