Psychic tv Dreams Less Sweet

Kondole/Dead Cat is an expanded edition of Psychic TV's Kondole album, which included material intended as film soundtracks. The only film that seems to have been completed is Dead Cat, which is included as a DVD in this set, marking the film's first-ever commercial release. The album's three pieces each clock in at exactly 23 minutes (a number of extreme significance to Psychic TV and Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth), adding up to 69 minutes total, and all three pieces were recorded on January 23 during three different years. The liner notes explain in great detail how the group became interested in the intelligence of dolphins and whales, and how they helped support efforts to protect the sea creatures.

In some ways, the Sweet epitomized all the tacky hubris and garish silliness of the early '70s. Fusing bubblegum melodies with crunching, fuzzy guitars, the band looked like a heavy metal band, but were as tame as any pop group. It was a dichotomy that served them well, as they racked up a number of hits in both the U.K. and the U.S. Most of those songs were written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, a pair of British songwriters who had a way with silly, simple, and catchy hooks. Chinn/Chapman and Sweet were smart enough to latch on to the British glam rock fad, building a safer, radio-friendly, and teen-oriented version of Queen, T. Rex, and Gary Glitter. By the end of the '70s, the group's time at the top of the charts had expired but their hit singles lived on not only as cultural artifacts, but also as the predecessors for the pop-metal of the '80s. Originally, the Sweet were called the Sweetshop and consisted of Brian Connolly (vocals), Mick Tucker (vocals, drums), Frank Torpey (guitar), and Steve Priest (bass).
