Description, by jen

Side project of Psychic TV's John Balance & Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson (also of Throbbing Gristle) that became a full-time venture in 1984. They make imaginative electronic "deep listening" music to experience & frequently dance to, favouring provocative themes involving sexuality & the occult. They've recorded tracks for Hellraiser (unused but subsequently released), covered Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" & are featured at NYC's Convergence 7.

The most enigmatic music since Stockhausen. Mind-bending transformation muzak. Their debut Scatology, is a groundbreaking album. Jumping from experamental noize to twisted death-disco to even a touchy cover versiob of Soft Cellīs " Tainted Love ". Their version is the best ! believe me ! ..
