| Whoe!...steady on boys......this is "ART",and definitely NOT the exploitation of female sexuality! |
A one-sided C60 with a newspaper magazine featuring articles, readings and interviews on Cosey Fanni Tutti, Throbbing Gristle and CTI.
Cosey's first solo release, a foray into early dark ambient territory,with sultry spoken word passages.Good for flotation tank dwellers.
And as normal with Industrial genre releases, there's plenty of multi-media content to entertain.Especially lovely is the full length shot of the Industrial Queen herself, bedecked only in a pair of wedgey sandals.
This is far more wholesome soft-porn than the relentless Sexual Propaganda we see today from the likes of Miley Cyrus and Rihanna; or should I say the shape-shifting reptilian hybrid psychopaths behind them. Brain washing our children to be lazy sex obsessed obese morons directly attached to a Sony PS3 or X-Box by the cerebral cortex.
The soft porn here is more likely a statement of these facts,and also that a woman can retain her sensuality and be clever?
It also doesn't harm the sales figures either,but hopefully that is a byproduct.
Basically it satirizes the exploitation of both men and women by the media.

Time to Smell: a haiku review
Reissued? For real?
Begs the question, does sex sell?
Apparently so!
CFT is beyond sexism. She's a progressive, an exploiter of sexists.
Great sandals too.
WoW!
I know this is a great release!
I have one. When I saw them in person in of all places, Norman, Oklahoma, (!!) I asked Cosey if I could hug her. I had taken some stuff, to enhance my listening experience. She politely declined. But it was a special show, in a small venue, with less than 50 (?!) in attendance. 1986 ?
A town called Norman???
Q/How do you frighten a Brit? Ask if you A/can hug him or her.
Was this a solo show, or Chris and Cosey?
I don't know if it's possible, but anyone holds the lyrics of this tape?
A cheap whore. She was a hardcore porn actress before TG.
Strictly soft core actually. Although she was often seen with genisis's knob in her mingle in the name of shock-art.
Cheap whore she may be in your world but she was in throbbing gristle and you were not.
Wow! I am so pleased to have found this. Back in the 80s I edited a fanzine in Hull called Kindred Spirit and Chris and Cosey were one of the bands we featured. In the article published in my fanzine there is a reference to the Time to Tell cassette and magazine, which comes highly recommended. Fast forward 34 years and I have set up a blog where I am slowly but surely publishing much of the contents of my fanzines online. The most recent addition is the Chris and Cosey feature. https://kindredspiritfanzine.blogspot.com/2018/06/chris-and-cosey-feature-february-1984.html I have included a link back to your blog too as I'm sure my readers will be interested in it. :)
Many thanks Jill.
Your Fanzine archive is an interesting read....keep up the good work.
ps...to your knowledge,was there one of those local band compilations released in Hull around 1980?.....i'm doing a series of local band comps on the blog soon and Hull is a significant absentee.
Thanks Johnny. There was a compilation tape released in 1984 on Zeiga Recordings called the Twilight Zone, which featured 16 Hull bands, one of which was a very early Housemartins track. The guy whose record label it was was the lead singer of a band called Les Zeiga Fleurs, who we featured several times in my fanzine, along with some of the others included on the tape. Here is a link which you might find interesting http://www.hullmusicarchive.co.uk/various-artists-the-twilight-zone/ and if you need any more info I would be more than happy to help out.
Norman, OK. A Chris and Cosey show. Sat on the floor and watched, within 15 feet of artists; no stage. Great show.
Is this a rip of the original cassette or the CD reissue?
