About "What's History"
Originally released as a cassette on the cryptic Austrian tape label, Nekrophile, in 1983, this simplistic experimental recording was an industrial classic ahead of its time.
Recorded in 1981 in the Hackney bedroom of Genesis P-Orridge, who at this point was romping through his final months in seminal industrial act Throbbing Gristle and sketching out what would be Psychic TV. Done as a spur of the ‘improvisational’ moment, Genesis was accompanied by then TG documentarian and video artist Stan Bingo to try out some new musical equipment and spun into an unplanned composition.
