Full review
One of the most accessable of Genesis P-Orridge's works! This album, a collaboration with Astrid Monroe, is a beautiful mix of ambient and spoken-word. Genesis manages to tame his usual howlings and hones them into different rhytyhms that intersect the music. Stylistically it sits a long way between the conventional rock of Psychic TV and the outlandish spoken rants of Thee Majesty. In this way it demonstrates the true diversity of Genesis' work and the way in which he is so easily able to transmute genres. The packaging is very deceptive as it displays little of the breadth of the material contained within its silvery surface. This is an ambient album that you can leave on repeat play for several days at a time!
