"After taking a little time off PTV finally came out with this album and boy ist it a good one. This is the album that started me on my Psychic TV craze. I was looking for a new sound and when I randomly picked(as I usually do) this album something awoke inside me and ever since then I have become a PTV head. I now own at least 20 of thier other albums and also Trobbing Gristle and other works with Genesis P-Orridge. And after showing PTV to my friends they were hooked! I think it's safe to say that if PTV were a mainstream band this album would definately be ranked in every music critics Top 10 Best Albums of the Century and I'm not over exagerating. Trip reset is destined to be a classic. And anyone who likes trippy surreal sound-scape music that you can explore will definately love this album."

"One of the main reasons I absolutely adore Psychic(k) TV is the inability to classify their style of music. Whether it be pop, rock, industrial, experimental (one album consists in aprox. 40 minutes of overlays of a wolf growling), spoken word, ambience or acid house, this band consistently strove to surprise and expand the minds of their listeners like no other. Trip Reset is another fine example of the bands creativity, delivering a fine mix of sunny pop, foreboding drone, spoken word (an eerie tale of a girl's frightening insight to her mother's murderous intentions), and ethereal hypnotic ambience. Trip Reset is one of the finest examples of PTV's ability to cross myriad musical structures and moods."
Psychic TV - 'Trip Reset' (Cleopatra)

"Wasn't this their comeback effort after a lengthy absence?Never been all that of a 'big' Psychic TV fan,but I would like to see them tour the states again sometime.'Trip Reset' is a good return for frontman Genesis P-Orridge and crew.Real tough to describe their sound,try industrial experimental.Tunes I thought were nice to check out were "Mother Jack",their decent cover of Pink Floyd's "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun","White Sky" and "Star To Far(Lullaby For Sid)".Might appeal to fans of Controlled Bleeding,Meat Beat Manifesto,Nurse With Wound and possibly My Life With The Thril Kill Kult."
YES!
