Psychic TV

Engineering on this, surprisingly, was Flood, the legendary audio engineer and producer that has become one of the greatest from the era and one of the most incredible resumes.

Prior to this, he'd worked with the New Order's debut album, Ministry's debut album, bands like Cabaret Voltaire, Psychic TV.

and his first production project was with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

He eventually, years later, would of course engineer The Joshua Tree with U2.

That symbol on the back, isn't that related to Church of Satan, if I'm not mistaken? A little bit.

Yeah, it's definitely related to the Temple of Psychic Youth or Psychic TV.

He had a bunch of different kind of iterations, but yeah.

He has a book called...

Yeah, he just knows a lot.

These guys are very sophisticated.

They talk about the stuff they know, like Psychic TV, which is a reference to Genesis Peorage and all this stuff.

They know.

This episode is part one of the final instalment of season two of Cassette Culture.

Join us next episode where we hear about Matt's later work with Peter Christopherson and are also joined by Dorothy Max Pryor, drummer with Rima Rima and Psychic TV.

In this episode, you heard the voices of me, Martin Franklin, with Robert H.

King, Martin Bates, Matt Johnson and Colin Favour.

And this record is the pinnacle, albeit a very, very early pinnacle, for this band.

The album is Dreams Less Sweet, and the band is Psychic TV.

Psychic TV? Psychic TV? Psychic TV? Yeah, it's a different band entirely.

Psychic TV.

So I've mentioned it before, but very, very briefly.

Was that their first

And Swab and Gristle clearly had made their mark in the creative world with their performances, their avant-garde performances, their challenging music, and the real start of what became known as industrial.

But they...

Has a complete different moral quote.

Yeah, Psychic TV, David.

You'll see Psychic TV pop up, too.

And Genesis P. Orge.

And you can read about a lot of these guys, Jodorowsky and Orge, in my book, Children of the Beast, which I really should update.

Let me get these new ones up.

got

tons of pictures i have to do a whole nother show on the tie it's it's really important information but it ties in now this is a good you know precursor to that people can check that out so this is kind of a picture somebody you know this or this guy i've mentioned demna a lot of okova these are those two together an article But it's interesting because he's mentioning that he takes his inspiration from Ramstein and Psychic TV.

I played you the track Something Sparkly.

They broke up back in 2000 and have gone on to work with Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers, Sonic Boom, Psychic TV, so many more.

So great to have new music there from Tadpoles.

And with that, we put a wrap on another edition of your non-denominational radio show and podcast.

Yeah.

And here's, I'm going to throw a left field one at you, a song called Black Moon by Psychic TV.

Right.

Must have the pink moon and the black moon sitting side by side, as it should be.

Wow, that's my subconscious working away, organising pants.

I didn't realise I did that.

But I'd just been listening to Psychic TV yesterday.

Are you aware of Psychic

Yeah, it's...

Because even Psychic TV does a cover of it and it knocks my socks off because they don't really change much.

Yeah.

It might all be the same album.
