Psychic TV – Cathedral Engine (1994)

February 26, 2023

I’ve listened to this many times over the years where instead perhaps I should have branched out a bit more into other Psychic TV stuff (there’s so much of it!). This is a fantastic piece of work, though; a very thorough exercise in sinister and brooding atmospheric music. Not quite on the knife-edge of noise, Cathedral Engine definitely uses a “less is more” approach compared to some of the other projects by those involved, but it’s restraint (and creepy organs sounds – what is that!?) really allows it to pay off in the long run.
