Thee Throttle set to music.......2004-10-06

"A Hollow Cost" was one of the first recordings that Genesis P-Orridge created following his arrival on American soil during his so-called exhile and the first full release he did with Invisible Records. It was recorded during the time that Genesis was engaged with providing background music/sound for Timothy Leary and it would seem that Leary's spoken word presentations played heavily into this recording. It would also become the template for GPO's later work with Thee Majesty.

The spokenwork portion of the album is an extemporanious rendition of GPO's written work "Thee Throttle" with additional material culled from older PTV lyrics, William S. Burroughs quotes and fresh insights. The musical accompanyment was provided by Larry Thrasher which draws upon found sounds, manipulated audio clips and bits and pieces of the sessions that would become the basis for the last Psychic TV (2) album "Trip Reset."

contagious, radical, and highly evolved.......2002-06-26

while the constantly evolving back drop of "cathedral engine" (larry thrasher's acoustic ambient score for the album) is no less significant, hollow cost focuses more specifically on the essence of the spoken word.

GENESIS IS A GENIUS!.......2000-09-01

Genesis P-Orridge has done it once again. He is one of the masters of spoken word. This album in my opinion is one(because there are so many) of his masterpieces. This album is one song.....which is about 70 minutes and the truly amazing thing is that it was all recorded in real time! It's beautiful and disturbing at the same time. I love this album so much it's hard to describe my feelings for it in words. All I can say is that it's art pure and simple! It takes you on a ride through gardens and dark forests.....it soothes and scares the hell out of you as you go through all the emotions in this epic adventure. For true avante garde music fans only!

a spoken word revelation..........2006-10-19

amazon doesn't have much info on this cd so here's what i can tell you:
one track, "a hollow cost" 76:17 minutes long.

excerpt from the back of the cd:

"...thee cd recording was originally released in europe on visionary records, london during 1994...this cd re-release is thee only official artifact and has been digitally re-mastered under thee supervision ov thee author. accept no substitute or previous copies of this remarkable recording...support thee writer and musicians ov THEE MAJESTY and this ongoing series ov unique, radically hybridized and influential spoken worlds."

i have this cd and i tell you it's absolutely an amazing recording, it starts off with Gen's processed voice (at least to me it sounds like it's processed) growling like a malevolent creature escaped from the abyss, out to devour your unborn child, it's really creepy and mesmerizing at the same time. Gen's spoken words backed by superb electronic sound collage, it's hypnotic and flows really well.

I urge you all reading this and gauging the other Thee Majesty's spoken word releases to get this cd and the rest of the spoken word releases. you will not be disappointed.
