If Reagan Played Disco

Genesis P. Orridge and Astrid Monroe
Important



A spoken word trip-hoppish outing of sorts for GPO and DJ Astrid Monroe, whoever that is.
You know someone's been around for awhile when their distinctive voice has the same resonance as William S. Burroughs did in the last couple of decades. Genesis' voice is one of those I'll always associate with high evolutionary change, even if I don't follow where he's currently headed.
There's loads of Theremin to spare in this album, and the beats are smooth and mellow. Comparisons to Portishead are inevitable. GPO doesn't really reveal anything too revelatory here and his voice is oddly distorted, time stretched or cut up.
But it is interesting to hear from this still vital, creative force.
