Psychic TV were signed to WEA Records and subsequently CBS based on the infamy of Throbbing Gristle. Their first albums Force The Hand Of Chance and Dreams Less Sweet featured high production values, catchy pop songs written by Fergusson (with barbershop quartet vocals arranged by Andrew Pearson), and sound experiments primarily created by Peter Christopherson and Geff Rushton, a.k.a. John Balance. How about that lineup, ha?Towards the end of this period Fergusson/P-Orridge completed their third proper studio album Allego
ry and Self: Thee Starlit Mire. It was at this point that Genesis became interested in acid house and techno. Alex Fergusson left and was replaced with techno artist Fred Gianelli.In 92 Genesis got into rough wheather thanks to a fabricated accusation of satanic abuse, he exiled to California where he got introduced to Larry Thrasher, co-founder of the experimental noise band Thessalonians. This began a new period with Psychic TV returning to its psychedelic pop roots with Thrasher co-producing the critically acclaimed Trip/Reset.Sadly though it didn't last long.
So you might say that I prefer pop to techno? Guilty as charged.
