'Trip Reset' is the first Psychic TV studio album in an inordinate number of
years. The cover art is an amusing bastardization of a TV Guide cover with a
Daliesque clock floating in space with the date set to Genesis's favorite
number, twenty-three. As far as Psychic TV albums go most of them have been
tripped out acid house numbers with more hip gyrations than the entire late
seventies but don't expect anything of the sort from this album. Genesis with
the aid of The Angels of Light have created a remarkably mellow collection of
tracks for the new album. Most of the instrumentation used appears to be
stringed with the only minimal additions of synthesizer backing to accentuate
the mood. Not even the few remixes that appear at the end of the album remotely
come close to much of the older Psychic TV. I think being evicted from England
and jumping out of a burning house have seriously mellowed Genesis's outlook on
life. Abruptly put this album is about as far removed from all avenues of the
industrial genre as you can possibly can get. Be warned that unless your open
to a serious directional change in the music you might not want to consider
purchasing this album.
