P-Orridge, Genesis & Stan Bingo – “What’s History” – [Dais]

This is an experimental, improv recording that Genesis and Throbbing Gristle’s documentarian, Stan Bingo, made back in the early 80s. Recorded in Genesis’s bedroom, he wanted to test out new equipment, and ended up releasing what they came up with on cassette in 1983 on Nekrophile. Forgotten for decades, it’s risen from the dead in a limited 500 copy release. What you have is a home recording of tinkering and toying around with various instruments, mostly electronic. Sounds of a playful xylophone type thing, mixed with subtle screeching, sliding and halting electronics, and a barking dog. All instrumental. It’s one big session, split into side A and side B.
