    This is one of those "collectors" CDs I think. It's acid tab psychedelic phat beaty, groovy rhythmic songs by none other than Genesis P. Orridge and friends during the "beat years", 1988-1994. What were they tripping on?
    There are samples of Timothy Leary giving a speech, samples of what sounds like a crazy paranoid ranting off in Sir Francis E. Dec "mad worldwide living frankenstein computerized dot concocted deadly new world wide gangster computer god in the synthetic sky plastic surgery frankenstein slave a meanace to your worldwide mad computer god controlled worse mongrel i hand you the secret to save the human race and the entire universe electric shock flashlights the threshold brainwash radio deadly frankenstein controls deadly ganster police deadly assult team in my yard ! maximum security insanity prisons wall to wall deadly ganster protection ! " or something like that... and a father talking to a little girl with a placating voice like Mr. Rogers about taking a trip as an astronaut. There are a number of great dance tracks here, acid techno beats and waves of electronic synth melodies. One of my favourite tracks is "Your Body" where a woman is saying repeatedly "Why didn't you just enjoy your own fucking body?"...
    The release is obviously about drugs...the inside booklet has articles by Francis Pinkieknicker "Teach Yourself To Jack The Tab" -- an introduction to this volume of the series; "Dusty Angels, On The Road with Psychic TV" by "Coyote" Tom Hallewell; and commentary about the Volume Too by Genesis P.O. There are a couple photos taken by Carl Abrahamsson of Genesis and Mista Luv aka: Luv Bass back in 1988 NYCity.
    The release Origin Of The Species Vol. 1 dubbed "Jack The Tab", 'Original UK Acid Dance Freakbeats'... and so hails nearly the same heavy sounds as on this release. There are lots of phat beats here that make it quite difficult to remain sitting when you hear it. I enjoy listening to Origin Too any time it's that good. Especially good when cooking a meal! Not a downer, but a definite upper -- highly recommended.
