Twenty-Four Bit Foetus

You've Got Foetus On Your Breath - Wash It All Off

Now where we? Ah yes..... carrying on from where we left off after a brief hiatus. More Foetus. This 12" was a reworked version of an original 1981 single reissued after Thirwell's licensing deal with Some Bizarre.

Foetus~Art~Terrorism - Calamity Crush

My final Foetus toe tapper for now is likely Thirwell's best, well certainly my favourite. Calamity Crush is a massive slab of high energy, industrial techno with funky keyboards and samples. The flip takes things even further and will certainly light up any dull house party.

Foetus Over Frisco - Custom Built For Capitalism

James George Thirwell has tried to make a living out of upsetting people for many years. He does do it rather well, though I doubt he makes a great deal of money from doing so.

The early embryonic Foetus recordings are superb experimental, very much industrial recordings which push boundaries rarely covered. Perhaps if TG had stuck around before going all silly as PTV, this is the direction they would have taken.
