Overlooked gems from the early days of music video – the unreleased legacy of T-Venus, a group who began as a multi-media act, and whose leader Julia Heyward also did a fair bit of work for MTV! The sound here is more arty than that reference might make you expect – sounds that resonate strongly with the New York downtown vibe of the early 80s, especially that place where art meets punk – almost performance art in sonic presence, with instrumentation that includes lots of keyboards and electronics next to more familiar guitar and basslines – the latter of which bring in some nice post-punk vibes! Musical partners on the tracks include Pat Irwin, Don Christensen, Bob Fitzsimons, and Jody Harris – and a young Syd Straw even sings on one track too. Titles include "Born Hypnotized", "Genius", "Birdie", "Keep Moving Buddy", "Gimme Gasm", "Intimate Parade", and "I Just Work Here". CD
