chris and cosey - pagan tango

[archaist]

When you listen to these little children projects of the original TG members, you really get a sense for where all the basic elements of that TG sound came from. Chris & Cosey seem to have that pounding, cardio-vascular, "hot on the heels of love" thing going on. Psychic TV is all about nasally perverted Gen singing out of her cock, Coil (may they rest in peace) had that spooky, every-day-is-halloween, Beachy Head sound. Take it all together and it's just an amazing family tree of music.

Official videos also exist for 'Rise' and 'Synasthesia'. Can't find them anywhere online though...

mmmmmm

[angelforfreedom]

love it!

[DjJohnnyM68]

great song..Was there ever an official video for anything of Chris and Cosey's besides 'October LoveSong"..this is one of those songs that one would've heard in the kinky clubs back in the day.

[shadowhalfcast]

you checked out 'the final calling' its on a video called 'elemental 7'. you can see it on youtube.

...yeah this track is fab and kinky

[motherginsling]

This is good! i'm not surprised, jus that i had not seen it before

[nightpowder]

great song

[liverawkstar]

somewhere the rest of the industrial music makers thot that industrial meant irritating, difficult and annoying....Chris and Cosey, Cabaret Voltaire, Depeche Mode, Coil: that is the good stuff

[shadowhalfcast]

here here... love a bit of tesco disco. Throbbing Gristle spanned the whole range really from difficult and anoying to fab and kinky (as they would have said). dance culture owes alot to the people you mentioned.

[angelforfreedom]

@liverawkstar Einsturzende Neubauten, William S. Burroughs and Z'EV should be added to that as well, imo. They were early auteurs of the genre. Z'EV and Bill were even on Industrial Records!

[liverawkstar]

@angelforfreedom

yes I agree with you,

I had the honor of seeing Z'ev live in 19995 in a dark backroom at Sin A MATIC in los angeles in 1995

[CircusOfHeaven]

@liverawkstar don't forget that DM can be called industrial just for the sake of the influences they got from lovely Neubauten, which would rather better go along the other names youve mentioned.. simplicity in difficulty and vice versa all the way. also leading one among second wave industrial bands.. early skinny puppy and ministry are also very very listenable and not difficult at all

[liverawkstar]

@CircusOfHeaven

yes I agree with you, I like skinny puppy for a while... still do, just not too much please,

btw , is your screen name at all related to the song "Circus of Heaven" by YES ?

[CircusOfHeaven]

@liverawkstar YES!

[liverawkstar]

@CircusOfHeaven

thought I was the only one on the planet that likes Industrial, techno, electronic etc AS WELL AS Prog-- there is usually a mass hatred of each other both ways-- yet it was "prog" style radio in the 70's that was playing Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and Jean Michel-

these days progs focus on musicianship as the be all end all--

to me (back then ) prog meant you had a keyboard player AND focused on texture and being "out of the box"...

[obviouslyFAKE2]

WOW!
