"This new incarnation of Psychic TV, or PTV3, sounds great. Gen's new band sounds powerful, and their grooves can make your body move without conceding to rock stereotypes. This album sacrifices none of PTV's experimental side, or their songwriting side. On most of their albums, you have some experimental songs, and some songs that are more in the classic style of songwriting. On this album, it's experimental pop songs or poppy experimental songs all the way through (and I mean pop like early Pink Floyd or The Stones, not in a demeaning way). The way the band rocks and grooves draws one in, while the structures and textures sound fresh, new, and challenging.

I love all of their albums, and every phase of their evolution, but I think this may be their best. If you haven't listened to PTV lately, you're in for a pleasant surprise. If you haven't heard them at all, this is a great place to start."

"Mick Jagger, Tom Waits, Paul McCathy, Trent Reznor, Bob Dylan, John "Rotten" Lydon, David Bowie, Ogre Nivek, Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Keith Richards, John Waters, Syd Barret, Tommy page, Neil Young and the rest don't porduce anything as important as their early work.



Genesis Breyer P-Orridge still pushes the limits of what to expect from music when you put a portable recording into your player. Over 30 years of music making and this human still makes music with all the power and creativity he began with in his innocent and ignorant, as intelligent as he was, twenties.



Another reviewer said this is laughable, to laugh at this is like laughing a Andy Warhol, it means you just don't get it. Laugh at The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Skinny Puppy, David Bowie, Tom Waits, you just don't get it. Nothing here is "PUNK" but punk is a park of rock and there is punk, lower case p, here along with Rock, Psychedelic, funk and roll, this is light years or a dozen years beyond Radiohead or anything else out there.



I almost wish those samples wheren't there because they give you almost nothing of what to expect.

"wonders never cease! First I'll say that this is a cyber glam record, only it's very analogue, with a Ziggy Star Dust 2007 sound. I wouldn't have guessed a sound like this, a sound that I associate as an old rock sound, could sound so fresh, so right so now, i am of the avante guard variety when it comes to music, but some how this works! on glam pop rock estetics as well as pagan occultic modes of expression and also on the poetic museing level, there is no industrial sound here but definately a dose of psychedelic. I might also add that this is a great summer time record."
