Dark Entries Editions is venturing into new waters with a remix EP of
Psychic TV’s classic Acid House song “Alien Be-In”. Psychic TV was
formed by Genesis P-Orridge and Peter Christopherson after the breakup
of Throbbing Gristle in 1981. After various line up changes, the band
shifted direction to dance oriented songs influenced by the Acid House
scene in America. By 1988 experimental electronic musician Fred
Giannelli, of Turning Shrines, joined the band and over the next 2 years
started to record songs for “Toward The Infinite Beat”. The album was a
mix of deep, multilayered tracks full of bright and hypnotic dance
numbers, providing the soundtrack to the rave culture that sprung up in
the UK in the 90s.


“Alien Be-In” was written in early 1989 on an E-mu Emax Sampler and
an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer. Vocal samples were taken from a tape Germs
drummer Don Bolles sent to Genesis. A didgeridoo rides throughout the
song, heavily modulated by a Gristleizer creating a hypnotic effect.
Near the end of the song the breakbeat slides out of time yet the band
chose to leave this in because it sounded strange and fit the concept of
the track. Genesis played a spaced out Echo Violin and the band used
360 degree panning rotation devices. For this reissue Fred Giannelli
takes a stab at remixing the mono mix of the original sequence sourced
from the Emax floppy discs. On the flip are two brand new mixes, the
first from Los Angeles based producer, Silent Servant, who updates the
classic with his modern brand of driving EBM techno. The second remix
is a team effort from Silent Servant and veteran producer John Tejada,
that re-creates the original melody using a Roland TR-808 and TB-303,
paying homage to early Chicago Acid House artists like Lil Louis and
Robert Owens.


All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy
Studios in Berkeley. The 12” is housed in a mind-alerting, metallic
silver die-cut sleeve and a neon green label that pops through,
featuring the psychic skull transformed into an alien cone head label
all designed by Eloise Leigh. Each copy includes a 2-sided 11×11 square
insert with black and white photo of the band from 1988 and liner notes
by Fred Giannelli.
