To recap - who the hell are Psychic TV anyway? Well, according to legend, Psychic TV was first born in 50 Beck Road, Hackney (where else?) in 1982. Genesis P-Orridge was also alleged to have had something to do with Soft Cell's Marc Almond back in the dark days of the early 1980's Batcave (RIP Gossips we miss you.)

Anyway, time has passed, and he/she is back again with a band featuring his partner, Lady Jaye, with the help of thousands of pounds worth of plastic surgery, their aim in life is to create a hermaphroditic entity called Breyer P-Orridge. Fair enough.

Putting all this aside, fascinating though it is, how is the music? Well, it's OK really. I'm not jumping out of my seat at the opening song "Higher and Higher", nor the second, "In Thee Body", but then I rarely do nowadays. But the third song, "Lies, and Then", has strong indie guitar riffing and a neat little keyboard melody, so who cares if you can't hear the words on first listen? You probably will after listening to it again and again, because it is actually darn catchy. If they're actually considering releasing a single ... (how much does it cost to release a record these days? Or a 'download' it now being 2007 ... bah!)

The album's a random melange full of mishy-mashy techno EMO industrial, jingly-jangly indie rawk with the occasional slash of hard guitar. There's a Velvet Underground inspired "New York Story" to bring some mellowness to the proceedings, taking the pace down a bit. "Just Because" has a damn catchy tune but it could do with having a real sitar thrown in there though instead of the electric equivalent. Unless I really do have cloth ears and can't tell what I'm listening to. It's almost like listening to Old Man Steptoe singing over The Wonder Stuff. Fantastic. 'I like you, I like you, you're very nice!' A nice and simple sentiment which is what pop songs should be... shouldn't they?

If you can get your head around the Breyer P-Orridge entity, which is what your hard-earned cash will end up funding if you do go ahead and buy this CD – it's actually quite interesting. It's like the Wonder Stuff with gender issues and styling courtesy of Bizarre magazine.
