This was some pretty ambitious material for the early 80's when it came out and that shouldn't come as a surprise coming from this group. This album has a few genre's all mixed in and that's why I like some of it and can't stand some of it either. OK, so Genesis P-Orridge has a baby girl and we're forced to hear him sing about her and have her crying vocals recorded at the end of one track as well. I think the song Just Drifting (For Caresse) is a beautiful track on its own but after a while I kind of got sick of it, and same goes for the similar sounding track Stolen Kisses. You'll be hearing "Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa" in your head all day after hearing this track.
The good stuff I like on this disc is the more daring and experimental tracks, such as Terminus, Thee Full Pack (for Bachir Attar) and Guiltless. The track Ov Power is a good tune as well with a kick ass bass line but after 4 minutes it's gets boring. Interestingly, the track I've probably played the most is the Untitled one. It has a ton of news clip sounding samples and some of them get messed up. It's pretty much a track about "Thee Process" and I think Skinny Puppy got influenced from this untitled track for thier track "Process" on the album The Process. They worked with him before with other groups so it seems very likely. All in all this was a good album and a good beginners guide to Psychic TV. If this came out now I'd probably rate it a 2.5/5 though.
