Ok, multi faceted question:
What was the first TG track you ever heard & or Favorite... & how did it impact you?
~ mine was Hamburger Lady... Late 80's... I was already familiar with Psychic TV at the time... But a friend put an LP on & said... "you've got to hear this"... add some freaky lights... gettin your buzz on... & Turn up as loud as possible with all the Low Bass Tones driving through the pit of your stomache.
Never the same after that.... Just that one song melted my brain a bit... definate influence.

Re: 1st Turn on from TG
Sun, June 6, 2004 - 11:11 AMMine was also Hamburger Lady.
A friend made a tape for me, called 'Scary Music', and it was on there. Creeped me out, totally. I wondered and wondered who'd do such a tune, so unrelentingly dark and damaged-sounding. Didin't say on the tape who it was. -

Re: 1st Turn on from TG
Wed, July 14, 2004 - 10:58 PMI heard about their performances with piss and blood and vomit before I ever heard them, Hamburger Lady was played for me in new Orleans around 1986 while I was tripping on acid...totally loved it, then i heard 20 Jazz Funk greats...been one of my favorites since.I even joked about starting Thee Temple ov Throbbing Geezers, because after Dreams Less Sweet, I was over Psychic Tv,and their cult.I sure wish I could get over to Europe to see what they're doing now.I love Cozy fanny tutti.She is a hero and an inspiration. -

Re: 1st Turn on from TG
Thu, July 15, 2004 - 4:49 AMWhen I was about 13, my aunt had a friend who was a local artist. I used to talk to him about movies, sci-fi and music. He would lend me records that he thought might interest me. I was really into music that I had pilfered from older family members, like Black Sabbath, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. He lent me a copy of DOA and at first I didn't know how to take it, but it was fascinating in a morbid kind of way so I just kept listening over and over until it became one of my favorite albums. -

Re: 1st Turn on from TG
Sat, September 17, 2005 - 2:38 PMMy first memory of TG:
I took a tape from my brothers collection & I listened to it. Not knowing what it was. I was about 8 years old I think. I kept rewinding one track... I most have done that for weeks. Until my brother discovered that there was a tape missing.
It was only years later (about 13 years old) again under the influence of my brother, that I ran into TG's 'What a Day' on 20 JazzFunk and I remenbered that one track. I still have that connection to that song and album.

Re: 1st Turn on from TG
Mon, September 19, 2005 - 7:35 PMWhen I was 14, I heard of an 'industrial' group called Ministry, from a friend who had stumbled across Psalm 69 at the libary, after seeing the video for Just One Fix. He burned me a copy, and I loved it. Then I seached the interweb for information on Ministry, including interviews. Through those, I found out about NON and TG. Got my first track from Napster, and then I bought 20 Jazz Funk Greats and 2nd Annual Report the next day.
