coum transmissions: home aged & the 18 month hope

The most recent installment of the rare and unheard archival recordings from the transgressive '70s performance art group COUM Transmissions. Founded in late 1969 by Genesis P-Orridge, COUM Transmissions' provocative performances mixed with visual art solidified the group as one of the most forward thinking breakthroughs within the '70s conceptual art scene. Only in the past couple years has COUM's recorded works seen the light of day. This release collects various selections spanning the years 1971 through 1975, including a rare live performance opening for Hawkwind, lost radio interview, obtuse poetry readings by early member Fizzey Peat, piano and violin compositions by Genesis P-Orridge, and insightful field recordings. Limited to 1,000 vinyl copies
