ReviewsMojo (Publisher) (6/96, p.121) - "...the first new album from Genesis P Orridge's Psychic TV in nearly seven years....some deep lounge philosophy, a 10-minute cover of 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun', and a touching tribute to Syd Barrett..."
Additional informationPsychic TV includes: Genesis P. Orridge, Larry Thrasher. Personnel: Genesis P-Orridge (vocals, electric violin, keyboards, sampler); Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge (vocals); Michael Campagna (guitar); William Breeze (electric viola, synthesizer); Larry Thrasher (keyboards, tabla, percussion); Billy Goodrum (keyboards). Photographer: Marti Wilkerson. TRIP RESET--a clever pun denoting a new approach, away from the dance-oriented acid house of their previous few records--is one of Psychic TV's most satisfying albums. Floating on a wave of sunny psychedelia--"A Star Too Far" is a tender eulogy to Syd Barrett, and the Floyd's "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is admirably reworked--Genesis P. Orridge and Alex Ferguson's usual dark preoccupations still maintain an uneasy presence, typically on the chilling "Mother Jack (A Children's Story)," in which a blank-voiced girl recites a story about her murderous mother. Listening to that, even the opening "The La La Song" can't help but sound foreboding in retrospect. Elsewhere, the light-hued pop and the ethereal ambience blend into a remarkable new whole, best seen in "Suspicious (West Coast Pop Art Experimental Remix)," a chiaroscuro soundscape that's alternately exhilarating and disturbing. An excellent return to form.
