Tracklist:
CD1:
This record, Psychic TV Themes contains recordings made by Initiates of The Temple of Psychick Youth to accompany portions of the First Transmission, another PTV product. Although it is primarily soundtrack music, we have found that even on its own, its effects are considerable. Strange things happen. For that reason, and to demonstrate that our work is not governed by normal stylistic restrictions, it is included in this package. Almost all the instruments used were acoustic but many of them have specifically ritual or Psychic properties and that is why we chose to use them. Certainly the illogical intensity of these recordings far exceeds thos made with conventional acoustic instruments.
