"This set of CDs was assembled illegally and without permission by Martin Atkins and Invisible. For 7 years they never accounted or paid any royalties to PTV thus ending all contracts null and void.



However various old CDs and tapes were still in their possession and they invented this set to continue stealing from PTV and their allies.



You can tell by the cover. The ORIGIN series has sections of a GP-O collage that were to create a full picture in the end. PLUS the booklets were 20 plus pages with new detailed sleeve notes by GP-O.



This is a stock photo with no sleeve notes.



Several tracks are NOT even by PTV...and were never intended to be on any release. Some are even wrongly credited to bands that dont exist.



So not only PTV get ripped off, YOU get ripped off by an inferior fraudulent product that was released to try and save Invisible from bankruptcy.



THEY CANT HIDE THEIR BANCRUPT OF ETHICS AND HONOR..!!!



Dont feed Atkins ego and lies, PTV cant even afford a studio to record new music in because of liars and thieves like Invisible.



BOYCOTT all Invisible CDs. They've ripped off most of the bands on the label too

Legendary material from a legendary act.

"If you know anything at all about Genesis P-Orridge then you're aware of the horror factor involved with everything that he does. Whether it be the insanely bizarre performance art of Coum Transmissions (1969-1976), the sonic madness of Throbbing Gristle (1977-1981), his personal theories on body modification or the cult religion Temple of the Psychic Youth-Genesis P-Orridge is gonna shock you into paying attention.



Through Coum Transmissions P-Orridge aided in the development and acceptability of conceptually abstract performance art. With Throbbing Gristle he pushed the very same envelope within the boundaries of music and literally coined the term "Industrial Music". So it should come as no surprise that with Psychic TV something else was born-House music, Acid House to be exact. Yep, the hypnotically monotonous backbeats fired by sequenced slap-bass and punctuated by starkly dry piano licks was partially if not entirely formed from the mind of Genesis P-Orridge.



Basically Psychic TV is to Throbbing Gristle what George Clinton's Parliament is to Funkadelic. P-TV is as subversive and cathartic as Throbbing Gristle but intentionally made more palatable for the masses. Moreover it's a damned far cry more rhythmic and the Origin of the Species 6-disc set is an ideal tribute to that.



There is a wealth of P-TV material to be had but the Origin of the Species set is a perfect place to start. Each double disc set is crammed full of quality live recordings, remixes, favorites, out-takes and liner notes, of course Volume 3 is of no exception. If you catch yourself entertaining the notion that Trent Reznor made an impact on Industrial/Dance music then think again and think hard.
