Does anyone remember this tribute to Ian Curtis courtesy of Psychic TV and the Orridge??

I thought it was a great track.

Any takers?

Not bad, not as good as 'Godstar' their tribute to the knobhead Brian Jones, memorable for the line 'it's about Brian Jones... One of the Rolling Stones' or something.

That's a spooky coincidence, mentioning IC Water. I've got a pile of old CDs in my hallway that have been collecting dust for a couple of months whilst I decide where to put them all: it's that awkward "will I ever play these again?" pile, and on the top is Psychic TV's Towards Thee Infinite Beat which has got IC Water on it.

I've just played it for the first time in about 12 years. Doesn't sound too bad. Music's good (sounds like New Order) but I don't like Genesis's vocals. Still prefer "Godstar" as their best effort, though.

Is that Ian Curtis voice sampled near the start of the track - I never noticed that 12 years ago!

Yes it is. I think its from the old pool hall interview where the balls make more noise than Ian does

Always thought that track was called "IC Tears". No ?

Liked Psychic TV a lot when I was younger. Still have "Live In Glasgow" on vinyl somewhere.
