"Another raving mad album from Genesis and the gang. If you don't know, this group was formed out of the ashes of Throbbing Gristle, one of the premier noise terrorist groups of the last twenty years. Bands like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails sing their praises, and more than a few other groups ripped them off. This is much poppier than Gristle, although quite crazy. Where else can you hear an eight minute long song about Roman Polanski that drones on with almost no change? And where else would that song be a giddy highlight? Some songs are as pleasant and poppy as you could imagine ("Godstar" sounds more like the Beach Boys than Ministry) and some are totally loony (one track features Jim Jones and Charlie Manson's lunatic rants overlapping each other AND THAT'S IT!). If you have an interest in the history of industrial music, or you are a very adventurous Beach Boys fan, than this album is for you."

Mastered from vinyl ... got any better ideas?

"Not the best remastering job in the world, but considering the master tapes are in the hands of Scotland Yard, this is probably the best digital option at the moment. Majikal tekno pop can get you busted? Good luck, Gen ole boy."
