Illustrator: Psychic TV. 1988's ALLEGORY AND SELF, Psychic TV's first US release after six prolific years in the UK, kicks off with the most unrepresentative song in the group's entire oeuvre, the surprisingly poppy "Godstar," a chiming guitar-led tune about dead Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones that's worlds away from the unsettling electronic buzz that's Psychic TV's usual stock in trade. The rest of this 14-track compilation--including three bonus remixes of "Godstar," "She Was Surprised" and "Ballet Disco"--is more in keeping with Psychic TV's normal (for want of a better word) output. Straddling the line between song and soundscape, these pieces largely consist of alternately delicate and aggressive electronic sound collages, overlaid with leader Genesis P-Orridge's trademark hectoring vocals and disturbing lyrics. After this album, Psychic TV embraced acid house music, so this is the culmination of their original, more forceful, style.
